Why Wilkinson

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 teams are so passionate about what they do.

Because we're a family business, you'll find we do things differently at Wilkinson. We're focused on the people who really influence our future success - our customers and our employees.

People know a good thing when they see it, so our stores are busy. On average, a Wilkinson store serves 30,000 customers per week. We have a huge variety of goods on offer. Around 25,000 different ones in fact.

Frankly, if you haven't experienced Wilkinson before, we think you'll be more than surprised at the sheer variety we stock. Shoppers enjoy the fact that we're a family owned business that understands a family's needs.

We're 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 venture became a resounding success.

After sticking to these core values for over three generations, we now operate over 300 stores across England and Wales, and an online store too. We've ambitious plans to expand further - and that's why working for us would be a very good idea indeed.
