B&M Bargains Set to Fill the Gap left by Wilko on Oakham High Street

B&M Bargains Set to Fill the Gap on Oakham High Street


The lease has been signed and work has started within the old Wilko store


Local shoppers in Oakham, Rutland, will soon have a new discount retailer to explore as B&M Bargains prepares to take over the former Wilko store on the high street. 

The new store is expected to open its doors in June 2024, bringing a wide range of products at competitive prices to the community.

This news comes after Wilko, which previously occupied the location, entered administration in 2023.  While the Wilko store on Westgate Street sadly closed, B&M's arrival offers a positive outlook, bringing a familiar name in discount shopping to the area.

B&M is known for its extensive selection of household goods, groceries, DIY essentials, gardening supplies, and seasonal products. 

The new store is expected to create jobs for local residents, further boosting the town's economy.

With the opening date set for June, residents won't have to wait long to explore the new B&M store and discover the bargains it has to offer. 

This development promises to be a welcome addition to Oakham's retail scene, providing a convenient and affordable shopping option for the community.

It won't be its largest store to see that, you will have to travel to Bournemouth to see that.
