Poundland has announced huge expansion plans for the UK as it presses ahead with more store openings.
Last month, the discount retailer said it will open or relocate 75 stores by the end of December. This includes the takeover of former Wilko sites, after Poundland agreed to take on the leases of up to 71 Wilko shops.
Poundland had already opened new stores in Telford (Forge Retail Park) and Stafford (Queens Retail Park) earlier in October. All new Poundland stores will stock grocery and household ranges, including Pepco clothing.
You can see locations for future openings in our list below, with exact opening times to be confirmed in the coming weeks. The new stores Poundland plans to open include an additional former Wilko (Birmingham Fort), and six former M&Co units (Portishead, Crewkerne, Midsomer Norton, Faversham, Newport and Wells).
Poundland will also relocate to a former John Lewis unit in Watford. Since announcing plans for 75 new stores, Poundland has now told The Mirror that four additional relocations have now been confirmed, which you can see below.

Austin Cooke, Poundland’s managing director said: “To open 75 stores in the space of a single quarter is nothing short of a super-human effort from every member of the Poundland team. To each and every one of them I say ‘thank you’.
“But we’re working at this pace because we’re on a mission–ambitious to grow, create jobs and serve new communities by opening shops customers and communities can be proud of.”
