MAJOR high street chains are preparing to close some of their stores for good\u00a0this week.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Businesses have come under huge pressure due to higher energy bills, increased labour costs and falling customer demand.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It comes as the number of firms falling into insolvency surged to the highest level for 14 years, according to the Insolvency Service.<\/p>\n

More than 12,000 firms have entered insolvency so far this year, the data shows.<\/p>\n

But not every retailer is shutting stores for good – some are expanding.<\/p>\n

Aldi is set to open 20 new stores\u00a0before the end of the year as part of its target to reach 1,500 branches across the UK.<\/p>\n

Next week, it will close 85 stores – 38 shops will shut on Tuesday with 47 closures to follow on Thursday.<\/p>\n

All of\u00a0Wilko\u2019s\u00a0400 shops will close by early October, according to administrators from PwC.<\/p>\n

But administrators confirmed last week that rival discount chain The Range has snapped up\u00a0Wilko\u2019s\u00a0brand,\u00a0website and intellectual property.<\/p>\n

It means the brand's name will not disappear from high streets for good as a result of the deal, with\u00a0The Range\u00a0confirming that it will sell\u00a0Wilko\u00a0products \u201cin-store\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Range, which runs 210 stores across the UK, has said it will also offer click and collect on products from Wilko.com.<\/p>\n

Plus, major Wilko rival B&M agreed to\u00a0snap up up to 51 stores\u00a0in a \u00a313million deal.<\/p>\n

And\u00a0Poundland has agreed to buy up to 71 shops, including sites in Cambridge, Leeds and Stafford.<\/p>\n

These stores will then close on Tuesday, September 19:<\/p>\n
