Poundland announces 19 more former Wilko stores to open

Poundland has announced it will reopen 19 more former Wilko stores in the next two weeks, bringing the total number of Wilko-to-Poundland conversions to 56.

The sites will open under the Poundland brand, stocking the extensive grocery, household and general merchandise ranges found in Poundland stores.

They will also sell the latest Pepco family clothing that can be found across 500-plus of Poundland’s existing UK and Ireland stores.

Poundland today announced it plans to open or relocate 75 stores over the three months to the end of December – the largest three-month growth programme in the brand’s history.

This includes the existing pipeline of new stores as well as the former Wilko stores it has already opened, or plans to open, as new Poundland stores.

So far Poundland has offered jobs to more than 500 former Wilko workers.

Austin Cooke, Poundland’s managing director said: “To open 75 stores in the space of a single quarter is nothing short of a super-human effort from every member of the Poundland team.

“To each and every one of them I say ‘thank you’. “But we’re working at this pace because we’re on a mission –ambitious to grow, create jobs and serve new communities by opening shops customers and communities can be proud of.”

In Redhill, Hull, Greenock and Peterlee, Poundland will relocate into the Wilko units from existing nearby stores.

Poundland has already opened 37 former Wilko stores within just three weeks.

It came shortly after Poundland’s owner Pepco agreed to buy up to 71 of the collapsed firm’s properties from administrators.

Variety store chain B&M also entered into a deal with Wilko’s administrators to buy up to 51 properties.

The Range has agreed a deal to purchase the Wilko brand name, website and intellectual property.

Wilko.com has since been relaunched, with shoppers now able to get home delivery for online orders.
