WILKO, the home and garden retailer, is opening a new store at The Oaks shopping centre in Acton with the creation of 45 jobs.

Craig McGregor, Head of Retail, said: “The Oaks is in a fantastic location with great transport links to central London and we’re sure it will become the go-to place for people looking to stock up on products for their homes and gardens.”

Wilko was founded in 1930 as Wilkinson Stores by J K Wilkinson.
