Poundland to open and relocate at least 50 stores - creating up to 800 jobs

Poundland has unveiled plans to open and relocate at least 50 new stores over the next nine months.

The discount store chain said that around half of the planned store changes would be new openings - in cities including Glasgow and London - while the remainder would be relocations from smaller and outdated sites, or extensions to existing shops.

Around 750 to 800 jobs will be created on a net basis, according to Poundland, as part of the store overhaul programme.
