Bargain Buzz in Oakham: B&M Possibly Replacing Wilko?

Bargain Buzz in Oakham: B&M Possibly Replacing Wilko?

There's exciting news circulating on social media today for bargain hunters in Oakham! A post, allegedly by a B&M employee, suggests the discount retailer might be taking over the former Wilko store.

While B&M hasn't officially confirmed this, the possibility has many residents buzzing. B&M's wide range of household goods, groceries, and DIY products at competitive prices would be a welcome addition to Oakham's shopping scene.

I have reached out to B&M for confirmation and will update you as soon as we I hear back. In the meantime, let's keep our fingers crossed!

Here's hoping the rumors are true and B&M brings its bargains to Oakham!


UPDATE a local bar has posted on their Facebook page,  they have received a letter confirming B&M are moving into the former Wilko Store.

just letting you all know we have today received official communications from B and M head office that they will be moving in as our new neighbours at the old Wilkos.

I must say this is a huge positive step in actually bringing some footfall back into the town centre.
