Poundland to open and relocate 50 new stores

Poundland has announced 2023 would see the biggest transformation of its store estate in its 32-year history. In the nine months to the end of September 2023, it plans to open and relocate at least 50 new stores, adding around half a million square feet in retail space and creating around 750-800 net new retail roles. Express.co.uk shares the full list of confirmed stores.

The retail expansion programme will support the range revolution that’s taken place at Poundland over the last three years, as it adds whole new categories such as clothing, homewares, and chilled and frozen food to offer customers an alternative to big supermarkets.

Its planned openings and relocations will continue to bring Poundland to a wide range of locations in UK high streets, shopping centres and retail parks.

The plans also include Britain’s biggest Poundland in Scotland – 18,380 square feet store at Glasgow Crown Street which is set to open in March, joining recently-opened supersized stores in Nottingham, Teesside, Denton and Peterborough.

Over the next nine months, Poundland will continue to take opportunities to relocate from smaller and outdated locations as leases expire.
