Wilko tape measure

Wilko is a historic British retail brand that has long been a staple of the UK high street. Originally founded as Wilkinson Cash Stores, it grew into a major household name known for affordable home and DIY products. This specific 3m tape measure was produced in China for the UK market.

In 2023, the original Wilko Ltd entered administration, leading to significant changes in ownership. The Wilko brand name, intellectual property, and website were acquired by the CDS Superstores group, which also operates The Range. Under this new ownership, Wilko products and the brand's online presence have been revitalized, maintaining the brand's British heritage while operating under a new corporate structure headquartered in the United Kingdom.
