MALVERN'S Wilko is set to close its doors for the final time this weekend.
The store in Church Walk, Great Malvern, is among a number of stores closing on Sunday, September 24.
The firm will close 37 stores after trading on Sunday, September 24, a further 37 on Tuesday, September 26 and another 37 on Thursday, September 28.
The high street chain, which entered administration last month, started its closure process last week - including shutting its stores in Worcester and Droitwich.

All of Wilko’s 400 shops will close by early October, according to administrators from PwC.
The Wilko brand will not disappear entirely from the UK high street after The Range agreed to buy Wilko’s brand, website and intellectual property, with plans to sell the acquired brand in its stores.
Wilko was originally founded by James Kemsey Wilkinson in Leicester in 1930 and employed 12,500 workers before its collapse.
