Poundland will close 13 UK stores in November as the high street heavyweight continues its restructure.
After the company was acquired by investment firm Gordon Brothers, it was confirmed in June that 68 shops would close. The decision puts 1,300 jobs at risk across the country.
Prior to the takeover, Poundland had approximately 800 stores across the country.
But this figure is expected to drop to between 650 and 700 as leases expire and other closures are confirmed.
In September, Poundland announced that 11 of the 68 planned closures – stores that had been earmarked for closure without full confirmation – will now remain open.
Barry Williams, managing director of Poundland, said: “We’re determined to deliver a simpler, more focused Poundland that keeps its promise of amazing value to customers.
“We appreciate the support we’ve had from suppliers, landlords and other partners who’ve now all been fully briefed on our plans to get us back on track.
“While there is much work to do, I’m confident that a Poundland focused on the simple value our customers expect, has a bright future.”
