    Corporation Street store expected to close around June time.
    Another nail in the coffin.
    16 stores throughout the UK to close.
    Parkgate Retail Wilko is not on the closure list...

    The retail sector in Rotherham town centre has been killed off.It must be the worst in the country for a town of this size.

    should never have been allowed to be built near to Rotherham. Local labour council Rotherham to blame.

    Parkgate Retail, high rents on some of the empty shops, internet shopping from home, numerous Banks closing down all decreases retail customers.
    Not just Rotherham either, 50 shops a week closing throughout the UK.

    It probably only last this long after Parkgate store opened due to length of the lease. Neither store is that busy, but Rotherham store is always quiet.

    Not many walking distance shoppers and parking charges apply.
