Overview

• Closures on 28 September will include Newport (Shropshire), Havant, Ripley, Swanley, Uttoxeter and Glasgow’s Dumbarton Road.
• Poundland has now identified 58 of the 68 UK stores scheduled to close this year under its restructuring, following multiple August shutdowns.
• Online shopping ends on 16 September as the website switches to browsing only, and the Perks loyalty scheme is withdrawn with vouchers valid until 15 January 2026.
• The plan also includes shutting the Darton frozen and digital site later this year and the Springvale (Bilston) warehouse early next year, impacting about 350 jobs.
• The turnaround follows the £1 sale to buyers linked to Gordon Brothers with a stated rescue investment near £90 million, targeting a smaller 650–700 store estate after High Court sanction enabled early lease exits.
