Wilko, the popular homeware store, has recently launched a new service that has left customers scratching their heads. The store is now offering a skip service for home or garden waste, allowing customers to hire a skip and have it delivered the next day. This unexpected move has some shoppers questioning if Wilko is going too far with their offerings.
Despite the confusion among some customers, the skip service could actually be quite useful for those looking to dispose of waste from their household purchases. Whether you’re landscaping a garden or clearing a site, Wilko claims to have a wide range of skips to suit your needs, with flexible rental periods and an easy hire process.
The introduction of the skip service is just one of the many new services Wilko has rolled out recently. The company has also launched its first-ever kitchen collection, click and collect options, and order points for convenient shopping. Additionally, Wilko has teamed up with Iceland to offer freezers stocked with popular frozen food brands at select branches.
This collaboration with Iceland is part of Wilko’s efforts to enhance the shopping experience for customers and expand their product offerings. The CEO of CDS, the company that owns both Wilko and The Range, expressed excitement about the new additions to Wilko stores and the focus on improving the customer experience.
Wilko’s journey back to success has been a challenging one, with the company facing financial struggles and eventually collapsing into administration in 2023. Following a series of rescue bids, The Range acquired Wilko’s name and intellectual property, leading to a gradual revival of the brand. With the reopening of physical stores in various locations, Wilko is slowly regaining its presence on high streets.
Despite the setbacks and changes, Wilko remains committed to providing customers with quality products and services. The introduction of the skip service and other new offerings demonstrates the company’s dedication to meeting the evolving needs of shoppers. As Wilko continues to rebuild and grow, customers can expect more innovative services and products to enhance their shopping experience.
