Poundland confirms number of store closures exceeds 50

No comments

Poundland has confirmed the location of a further 12 stores set to close in the coming weeks, bringing the total of guaranteed store closures to 52.

As part of its restructuring plan announced after Pepco Group sold Poundland to Gordon Brothers in June, the value chain outlined 68 total stores to close.

Poor trading over time has been cause for concern, with action needed to turn the business around. A trading update from Pepco Group from April 1 to the sales completion on June 12, revealed Poundland revenue fell 10.3% while like-for-like sales declined 7.1%.

Beyond store closures, Poundland plans to remove frozen food from stores, cease online trading and halt operations of its Perks loyalty app.

The retailer also anticipates the closure of two distribution centres, one at Darton, South Yorkshire this year, and the other at Springvale, West Midlands in early 2026.

Over time, it plans to trade from between 650 and 700 stores compared with the 800 it started with. So far, 13 stores have closed up to August 10, with Poundland confirming other location closures over time.

Fresh confirmations from the retailer show that 11 stores will close on August 31, and one on September 14.

Poundland will be tied to leases on closed stores until its restructuring plan gets approved from the High Court and creditors. A hearing is due to take place on August 26.

Affected staff have also entered a formal consultation process.

As part of the restructuring plan, here are the Poundland stores closed or confirmed to be closed soon.
