They don't want to hang about, they just want to go in get what they need, pay and leave. That's why they use the self service tills. Yes some people like to chat. I believe some Wilko stores have a cafe but if they don't then will be coffee shops/cafes nearby. You want all those things but shopping habits have changed a lot. Shops do lots of research on customer shopping habits. Yep, Wilko was never going to be somewhere people go for a ‘shopping experience’. I believe a big problem was their high street locations which are likely rubbish for parking which isn’t great if you’re buying tins of paint or bags of compost. That said, I will miss Wilko for buying household items when I’m in town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet doesn't list a single alcoholic item on the menu which includes drinks. Can't wait to go into the bowling alley in Starbucks tomorrow. See, I can make things up too.

They opened one at Meadowhall and about the same time they opened one at the Metrocentre Gateshead shopping centre, near where I live, both ideal for free parking. Did they realise that some of there locations are out dated but they left it to late to do something about it? I will also miss Wilko when they close.

I am going to visit the international airport in the Haymarket branch of Wilko tomorrow. Edited August 31, 2023 by HeHasRisen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
