The former home of Wilko is set to become a B&M, the company has confirmed today, 9 April.

Since the closure of Wilko on Oakham's Westgate last year, speculation about the future of the store has been rife - and now it has been confirmed.

2 Westgate is set to become a B&M store in the summer.

An official date has not yet been announced, but the team anticipate that the store will be opening mid-summer, and recruitment will launch shortly.

Wilko officially closed in Oakham in late September 2023, so many will be pleased to see this large building once again occupied.
