Both of Wilko’s warehouses, called distribution centres, also closed on September 15.
A further 38 stores pulled down the shutters one last time on September 17.
Another round of 38 shops closed Tuesday, followed by 48 more branches shutting their doors on yesterday.
Another 37 shops will then close for good on Tuesday, September 26.
Meanwhile, 37 further stores will shut forever on Thursday, September 28.
The retailer will shut its final 111 stores in early October as part of the final phase of closures, administrators for PwC said.
But B&M and Poundland have purchased a handful of stores which could reopen in the future.
The Range last week snapped up the Wilko brand, including the name and website, in a £5million deal with administrators.
Now, a message on the Wilko website is promising customers that home delivery is “returning soon”.
