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.
