Poundland is preparing to shut three more branches this December, adding to the dozens already shut in recent months, as it continues a wide-ranging restructure under its new owners.
The closures are part of a major programme announced in June, when Poundland was sold for £1 to US investment firm Gordon Brothers, which outlined plans to close 68 shops and two warehouses across the UK. The goal is to shrink the chain from roughly 800 stores to between 650 and 700 by the end of the overhaul.
