The administrator behind the sale of Wilko has confirmed which stores will be closing after rival retailer B&M agreed a Deal to save 51 sites.

Falmouth has been included in a list of stores that will close next Tuesday (12 September). Truro and St Austell branches will also close on Thursday 14 September.

Before the sites were confirmed the administrator had said that 1,300 Wilko staff would lose their jobs with 52 stores closing.

The joint administrator, Edward Williams, said: "In the absence of viable offers for the whole business, very sadly store closures and redundancies of team members from those stores are now necessary. The loss of these stores will be felt not only by the team members who served them with such dedication, including through the uncertainty of recent weeks, but also the communities which they have been a part of. 

"We are enormously grateful for the support of team members during this difficult period and remain committed to doing all we can to help affected staff, assisting them with processing redundancy claims and working with relevant parties to help secure new employment as quickly as possible."

"Active discussions with parties interested in buying parts of the business continue and the administrators remain committed to preserving as many jobs as possible. However, depending on the outcome of those talks, it is possible that further store closures may regrettably be necessary."
