Poundland opens 11 stores in 11 days
Poundland has said it is on track to open 11 stores in 11 days, with the new branches creating a total of 300 jobs.
The single price retailer has set itself the ambitious target of opening one store per day across the UK between 19 and 29 June.
Stores opened last week in Wombwell, Rhyl, Oswestry, Newton Abbot and Kingston. This week Poundland is opening its doors in Fulham, Urmston, Anniesland (Glasgow), Exeter, Leamington Spa and Borehamwood.
Poundland’s CEO, Jim McCarthy said: “Poundland continues to go from strength to strength and we are proud to bring the Poundland retail proposition to thousands more customers and to support the economy through the creation of new jobs.
“We currently have over 450 stores in the UK, including Northern Ireland. Our growth strategy for this financial year is to open at least 50 new stores and we are well positioned to not only meet, but exceed our target. We have a very exciting year ahead.”
