    Wilko stores and staff are back at risk after the proposed rescue deal reportedly collapsed.

    Talks between Doug Putman and administrators PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) over a "slimmed-down deal" to save around 100 Wilko sites has ended.

    For weeks, the retail bosses have been in talks with the HMV owner but according to reports the stores and its staff are back at risk.

    Wilko’s administrators are now expected to pursue a deal to sell roughly 100 stores to chain retailer Poundland, reports Sky News.

    There have also been reports The Range may purchase the Wilko brand.

    In the meantime, 24 shops will close on September 12, while another 28 will be shuttered just two days later.

    The company has 400 branches in total, with B&M agreeing to spend £13million on buying just 51 sites.

    However, the company has not confirmed the fate of any of the 1,332 staff members employed by the company.

    Edward Williams, joint administrator, said: “In the absence of viable offers for the whole business, very sadly store closures and redundancies of team members from those stores are now necessary.

    “The loss of these stores will be felt not only by the team members who served them with such dedication, including through the uncertainty of recent weeks but also the communities which they have been a part of.”
