Poundland Adds 10 More Store Closures as Court-Backed Overhaul Rolls On

The cuts follow a court-approved rescue that is shrinking the estate.

Overview

  • Poundland confirmed a further 10 UK closures, taking the tally scheduled for November and December to 16 sites, with dates running from November 2 to December 31.
  • Across the wider programme, news outlets published closure lists that bring the near-term schedule to roughly 30 locations between October 2025 and January 2026.
  • The newly listed stores—ranging from Hailsham and Perry Barr to Dalston and Hempstead Valley—are shutting due to expiring leases, according to the retailer.
  • Closing branches are holding clearance sales with discounts of up to 40% on all stock categories as they wind down operations.
  • The restructuring, approved by the High Court and backed by up to £60m, forms part of a plan to close 68 shops and two warehouses and is paired with a rollout of simplified £1/£2/£3 grocery pricing targeting about 60% of items at £1.
