Wilko is set to shut its first shops this week after falling into administration.
The 90-year-old retailer will close 52 branches across Tuesday and Thursday after failing to secure a deal to rescue the stores.
Administrators from PwC said last week the closures will lead to 1,016 redundancies.
It comes as the insolvency experts continue to seek a deal to save as many shops and jobs as possible.
They were dealt a blow on Monday after HMV owner Doug Putman confirmed he has failed in a bid to strike a deal to buy around 200 stores.
It means thousands of jobs across Wilko’s remaining shops, warehouses and head office remain in the balance.
The following Wilko shops will close on Tuesday September 12:
Acton, London
Aldershot, Hampshire
Barking, London
