WILKO will reopen at The Dolphin shopping centre in Poole this Friday.

The popular household and garden retailer will open its doors to the public on Friday, August 16.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held to mark the store’s opening, and there will also be prizes and goody bags on offer for the first 50 shoppers in the queue, featuring some of the brand’s top-rated products.

The 23.5k square feet store will offer customers all the essentials needed to complete their home and garden jobs featuring Wilko own-brand products alongside popular named brands.

It will also feature an Iceland concession so shoppers can conveniently pick up meals alongside everything they’d expect to find at Wilko.

The Poole site is one of the brand’s new concept stores. It is the latest confirmed store opening in the continued roll-out of further launches, which have previously included Exeter, Luton, Plymouth St Albans and Rotherham.

When staffing the new store, priority will be given to ex-Wilko team members and recruitment is now taking place.
