🚨 Big changes at Poundland! 🚨
Poundland has just announced the next wave of store closures, signaling a major shift for the budget retailer. Already having closed 57 stores, they’re now gearing up for the final six closures by 28th September. Some closures, initially planned, like the ones in Brighton and Anniesland, are now on hold. Meanwhile, the Irvine store that was set to close has reopened after some restocking magic!
Managing Director Barry Williams is steering the ship towards a leaner Poundland, focusing on delivering amazing value in every aisle. The plan? Simplifying price points across categories like snacks, drinks, and health & beauty. By the end of the month, expect 60% of groceries to be just £1, along with £2 and £3 options—not a penny wasted!
📢 Heads up for digital shoppers: Poundland’s website is no longer a shopping destination but a brand hub, and the Perks app has retired. Don’t worry if you have vouchers—they’re still good in-store until January 2026.
These closures and changes are part of a larger strategy expected to leave Poundland with about 650-700 stores from 800. With fewer shops, they’re aiming for a sharper focus on in-store value.
