Poundland Sets March 19 Holyhead Shutdown, Details February Closures and a Scottish Reopening

The retailer says its restructuring ended with 651 stores, with current exits driven by lease events.

Overview

  • Poundland confirmed its Holyhead Retail Park store will close on March 19, with a clearance sale underway after it failed to agree new lease terms.
  • The chain listed six February closures: Chichester (Feb 8), Crayford (Feb 11), Feltham (Feb 8), Nottingham–Chilwell (Feb 13), Urmston (Feb 16) and Winton, Dorset (Feb 6).
  • Coatbridge in North Lanarkshire was pulled from the closure list following a landlord agreement and will reopen on February 6 after restocking.
  • Poundland says the formal restructure concluded at the end of 2025 with an estate of 651 stores and that subsequent closures relate to routine lease expiries or landlord notices.
  • Local representatives, including Plaid Cymru’s Rhun ap Iorwerth, sought clarity and support for staff affected by the Holyhead decision.
