B&M to open new Nottingham store in former Wilko unit - opening date confirmed

The opening date for a new B&M store in Nottingham has been confirmed, with shoppers required to wait just a few more days. 

The new store in Main Street, Bulwell, will open in the town’s former Wilko when it opens on Wednesday, June 12. 

Bulwell’s Wilko was among the hundreds to close across the UK last autumn after the chain entered administration. 

Having remained empty for the past eight months, the unit will be occupied once more from next week. 

Last September B&M acquired 51 Wilko stores in a £13 million deal as the discount chain struggled to contend with significant losses and cash shortages. 

B&M now has more than 700 sites across the country, with plans to open 45 more stores over the next two years. 

The retailer will open new shops in locations such as Bristol, Derby and Manchester over the summer.
