Poundland is set to open 15 stores across the UK in the coming weeks – is there one near you?
The discount brand has previously announced plans to expand with a combination of brand new stores as well as the relocation of smaller shops to bigger sites.
Nine new stores are set to open in the next few weeks with locations including Braehead, Cardiff, Frome, and more.
Poundland store locations set to open in coming weeks
At the time of writing, nine Poundland locations have been reported to be opening:
They are as follows:
- Braehead
- Cardiff
- Frome
- Ipswich
- Pontefract
- Ryde
- Selby
- Stafford
- Torquay
Up to six other stores are expected to follow and are planned to open before the end of September.
However, this is subject to legal agreements, the Mirror has reported.
Newsquest has approached Poundland for further comment.
The news comes as part of a larger plan to open or relocate 50 new shops by the end of September this year.
This change is expected to create around 750 to 800 jobs.
Announcing the plans earlier this year, Poundland managing director Barry Williams said: “We have to step up our search for the best locations to bring the best of Poundland to customers across the UK and that’s precisely what we’ll do in 2023.
“We will continue to work hard to find the right locations that suit the range of Poundland formats we now offer – from small neighbourhood convenience stores to our large destination stores.”
Eight stores were announced to open between January to March with a further 26 locations following between April to June.
Poundland had also announced that 18 stores would be opened by the chain between October and December, including eight on December 10.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
