Administrators at PwC announced on Tuesday that 111 more stores will serve customers for the last time next week.
The much-loved discounter tumbled into administration on August 10 after trying and failing to find a backer for the company.
Poundland has since snapped up up to 71 shops, stating that Wilko workers will be first in the line for new jobs.
The discount chain hopes to have them ready to open in time for Christmas trading later this year.
A £13million deal to sell up to 51 Wilko stores to rival B&M had already been agreed.
