Overview
- Closures confirmed this month include Melton Mowbray on December 4, Droitwich on December 9, and Hempstead Valley on December 31.
- Further shutdowns are scheduled for Bexhill on January 5 and Cameron Toll on January 20, 2026.
- Around 30 stores are currently earmarked for closure, with about 25 branches already shut since October.
- Several closures are tied to lease expiries under the restructuring agreement rather than immediate exits.
- Stores preparing to close are running clearance sales with discounts of up to 40%, as Poundland targets a smaller estate of roughly 650 to 700 shops following a period of declining profitability and higher operating costs.
