Poundland Confirms Nine More UK Store Closures by Mid-February

The retailer says the era of mass shutdowns has ended, with 2026 focused on lower prices and a tighter product offer.

Overview

  • Nine branches will close between January 29 and February 16, including Gosport and Bristol Avon Meads on January 29, Winton on February 6, and Chichester, Feltham and Coatbridge on February 8.
  • Further closures follow in Crayford on February 11, Nottingham (Chilwell) on February 13 and Urmston on February 16.
  • Poundland said large-scale closures are finished and any future exits will be routine lease-related decisions across its network.
  • The chain ended last year with 651 stores, down from roughly 800 before the restructuring.
  • January has already seen closures at Bexhill, Ponders End and Kilmarnock, with Lymington and Christchurch shutting on January 23, and some closing sites running reductions of up to 60%.
