Poundland closing down: 18 more stores' closure dates confirmed - full list
Poundland has revealed which of its stores are holding closing-down sales before they shut for good.
The retailer announced on August 26 that 68 stores would be closing after it received court approval for its restructuring process - after telling the court that it would slide into administration if the plan was not ratified. Since then 11 of those have received a stay of execution, but the announcement of the closing-down sales confirms which are the remaining sites to shut.
Poundland has confirmed that the 18 shops below will close before the end of November and says that there are “extensive clearance sales” at these sites, with reductions of up to 40 per cent, and items being marked down until they are sold. It includes stock in homewares, groceries, clothing and health and beauty.
Barristers for the retailer had told a hearing earlier today (August 26) that it would be placed into administration by Friday and was set to run out of money by September 7 if the plan was not approved.
