The stores will stay open for now, without any immediate job losses, and staff will continue to be paid.
Wilko, the High Street homeware retailer, has collapsed into administration after failing to secure a rescue deal.
Jane Steer of PwC said that Thursday's announcement is "an unsettling development for everyone involved with the business - particularly its committed team members - and the communities it serves across the region". If a firm fails to buy any of the shops or parts of the business out of administration, Wilko, which was founded in 1930, risks becoming the biggest High Street casualty this year.The GMB union said the collapse was "entirely avoidable".
This gave Wilko 10 days to secure a rescue. However, it was unable to strike a deal within that timeframe.
