Overview
- Twelve branches are scheduled to close between January 5 and 29, with Winton and Coatbridge to follow on February 6 and 8.
- A further wave completed in December, including Brighton’s Western Road on its final trading day with steep clearance pricing reported.
- Poundland says it expects to operate 650–700 UK stores by early 2026, down from about 800 at the start of the restructuring.
- The retailer’s sale by Pepco to Gordon Brothers for £1 in June triggered a plan that initially targeted 68 shops and two warehouses, with 57 stores closed by September and 11 put on hold.
- Many of the latest shutdowns stem from expiring leases or landlord notices, while some vacated units are being re-let, including multiple new Jollyes pet stores with Blackpool due to open on January 24.
