Poundland looking to expand new format in London
Poundland is seeking sites to expand its new store format within the Capital.
The discount retailer has recently opened four ‘Poundland Local’ stores over the last six months in East Dulwich, Clapham, Swiss Cottage, and Whitechapel.
The new store format delivers Poundland’s core range of products, as well as new offerings including fresh produce, frozen goods, bread and alcohol.
Poundland’s director of property, Ben Wall, said: “While the newer store openings have followed our essential format, we are open to looking at store opportunities of different sizes on high streets, shopping centres and retail parks.”
The retailer will be opening its expanded store in Bow on May 20, increasing the size of its shop floor by a third. Poundland’s director of retail Darren Kay said the store would offer a “new and improved shopping experience and wider ranges.”
