New B&M store in Mildenhall one step closer as signs displayed at site of former Wilko

A new B&M store in a Suffolk town has moved one step closer as signs have been put up on the building.

The Mildenhall Wilko branch closed in September after the firm entered administration.

B&M Retail Ltd submitted a premises licence application for 32 to 36 St Andrew’s Street in the town with the store due to open on April 6.

B&M bought up to 51 Wilko stores in a deal worth up to £13 million.

It has more than 700 branches across the UK, selling food, electricals, homeware, furniture, DIY and gardening products.

There are no Wilko shops remaining in Suffolk.
