Wilko: Former Gloucester Wilko store up for sale at 1.3m

The store in Northgate Street closed in 2023 [BBC] The building which housed the former Wilko store in Gloucester is up for sale two years after it closed for good. The building, in Northgate Street, has been left empty and boarded up since the chain went bust in September 2023. The Gloucester store originally had 140 employees when it opened in 1997 but that number dwindled to fewer than 30 in the years leading up to the closure. Allsop, the agent managing the sale, has set the building's price at £1.3m and the auction started on Tuesday. It is expected to finish on March 31. Allsop added there is possible potential for a conversion, and a change of use to the upper floors to homes. The annual rent for the building stood at £214,000 a year, the Allsop advert for the site said. Follow BBC Gloucestershire on Facebook , X and Instagram .
