Company History

Think you know what our business is all about? Take a closer look. We believe that it’s only when you’ve experienced Wilkinson from the inside that you’ll truly understand why our customers are so loyal and our teams are so passionate.

 

Wilkinson is a forward-looking company. But our history continues to influence the way we do things today. It all started in 1930 when JK Wilkinson opened his first general store in Leicester. By offering quality, value for money and friendly service, JK’s family-owned venture became a great success. After sticking to these core values for over three generations, we now operate more than 280 stores across England and Wales, and an online store too.

 

Our “own brand” and “branded product” approach means we’ve a huge variety of goods on offer. Around 25,000 different ones in fact, including paint, garden equipment, home furnishings, electrical goods, DIY tools, lighting, cleaning, toiletries, cards, kitchen utensils, home accessories, DVDs, music, books, toys, stationery, confectionery, groceries and more. Frankly, if you haven’t experienced Wilkinson before, we think you’ll be more than surprised at the sheer variety we stock.

 

People know good value and good quality when they see it, so our stores are busy. On average, a Wilkinson store serves 30,000 customers per week. Our shoppers enjoy the fact that we’re a family owned business that understands a family’s needs.

 

This people-focused philosophy isn’t just attracting customers. It’s also a draw for retail managers who are looking to move to a business that’s run by people who are fully involved with what’s happening on the ground. We’re focused on the people who can entirely focus on the shopper and the team member.

 It goes to show that reflecting on past traditions and heritage can actually help you look forward with more confidence. That’s why our plans for expansion are ambitious. Expect more and more stores to open across the country, and our presence in the South and South West to increase significantly, as well as our entry into Scotland. And, if you join us in one of these roles, expect the opportunity to prove your ability to progress to the highest levels of our organisation.
