DISCOUNTER Wilko has revealed a fan favourite will be making its way to stores – and shoppers are "so happy".<\/p>\n

The bargain retailer collapsed into administration in August but some of its old shops are reopening under the brand's name.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Two in Plymouth and Exeter are due to welcome in customers for the first time within just days.<\/p>\n

And shoppers excited for the return of the retailer on the high street will be buzzing to discover a fan favourite section is coming back too.<\/p>\n

Customers will be able to pick up their favourite pick 'n' mix in-branch and supplant any sugary cravings.<\/p>\n

Wilko recently posted on its Facebook page: "You didn't think we'd re-open without Pick & Mix, did you?<\/p>\n

"We're cola bottle fans, personally…"<\/p>\n

The post has notched up over 1,000 likes and over 300 comments from shoppers who can't wait to bag some sweet treats.<\/p>\n

One said: "Yes!!! This makes me so happy."<\/p>\n

A second said: "I miss the Wilko's Pic 'n' Mix, only place I bought it from."<\/p>\n

A third added: "Modern day Woolworths. Love Wilko."<\/p>\n

It comes after Wilko collapsed into administration in August this year, seeing 400 stores close and 12,000 jobs lost.<\/p>\n

The discounter's last remaining sites\u00a0shut for good\u00a0on October 8.<\/p>\n

But parts of the business were split up and shared among retailers in a boost for shoppers.<\/p>\n

A flurry of rivals bought stores between them, including Poundland and B&M.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in September, Wilko administrators agreed the sale of the retailer's brand name to The Range as part of a \u00a35million deal.<\/p>\n

It means Wilko shoppers can still pick up products online after its website was relaunched in October.<\/p>\n

Wilko isn't the only retailer to suffer this year either.<\/p>\n

A number of others on the high street have been closing stores amid a turbulent economic backdrop.<\/p>\n

Shoppers are increasingly turning to online retail and away from physical branches, a trend made worse by the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

High\u00a0inflation\u00a0since last year has meant shoppers'\u00a0money\u00a0isn't going as far either as they hold off on leisure purchases.<\/p>\n

That, combined with high energy and wage costs, has seen a number of retailers closing stores, including Boots and Iceland.<\/p>\n

Some have fallen into administration like Wilko this year too, including\u00a0Cath Kidston, Paperchase and\u00a0M&Co.<\/p>\n

But it's not all bad news – a number of retailers are expanding and opening stores, including Primark, B&M and KFC.<\/p>\n
