Wilko to Open Store in Stapleford
17 September, 2007
High Street Retailer Wilkinson, is to open a store in Stapleford.
Last month, amid much speculation by residents in Stapleford, NG9 revealed that the favoured location for the store would be next to Sainsbury’s on Derby Road.
A spokesman for the company told NG9 that they would welcome an opportunity to open a store in Stapleford as part of their expansion programme.
Mayor of Broxtowe and Town, Borough and County Councillor Brian Wombwell confirmed that the company were looking at a shop in Stapleford but declined to give any further information, except to say, it was not the former Kwik Save shop on Derby Road.
The company has also been advertising a range of job opportunities at the new store, which it states, is due to be open by October.
Currently the family-owned home and garden chain has 280 stores in towns and cities around England and Wales and is on target to have 370 by 2010.
As one of the UK’s fastest-growing high street retailers, Wilkinson opens around 20 new stores a year in England and Wales.
