Lancaster Poundland store set to close

Poundland in Lancaster

The Lancaster branch of Poundland is on a list of stores to close across the UK.

The discount retailer has announced that 14 of its shops will close down by early February, on top of the 19 already set to shut down over the coming months.

The Poundland in Marketgate shopping centre, Lancaster, is due to shut on December 19.

Other stores due to close include in Northampton Sixfields, Weston-Super-Mare, Hammersmith, Prestatyn, Coatbridge and Yeovil.

By early next year, the budget chain will have shut more than 100 stores after it kicked off a programme of restructuring.

Poundland was sold for £1 to investment firm Gordon Brothers in June.

The company avoided entering administration after a restructuring plan was approved in the High Court in August - days before the company was due to run out of money.

Poundland opened in the former New Look store in Marketgate in 2023, after previously being located in St Nicholas Arcades.

The chain also has a store in the Arndale centre in Morecambe.
