The homewares company, which has been trading for 93 years, said that it had filed a " notice of intention" (NOI) to appoint administrators.
Wilko's chief executive Mark Jackson said that Wilko has been working to secure funding for a turnaround plan and had received " an indicative offer that would meet all financial criteria".
" However, this offer could not be executed in the timelines required, which is why we took the difficult decision This Week to file an NOI, " Mr Jackson added.
At its height, Clintons had nearly 800 shops and employed 8,000 staff.
However, in 2012 it was forced to file for administration and was rescued by American Greetings , a supplier owned by the US-based Weiss family.
