Former Wilko store to be new indoor market

A FORMER Wilko branch will see life once again as new owners have been found for the spacious unit.

At the end of 2023, the high street staple collapsed into administration, resulting in the closure of all 400 of its branches across the UK.

By October, Kent had seen all 13 of its Wilko stores close, including the Folkestone branch in Sandgate Road. Having now stood vacant in the town centre for over a year, the site is set to be revived as an indoor market.
