Poundland starts closing sale at Belfast store

express.co.uk

Poundland has begun a major closing down sale at its Connswater Shopping Centre store in Belfast, offering discounts of 50% as it prepares to shut down on March 21. Shoppers have been lining up outside the store to take advantage of the deals. The closure follows the shopping center entering receivership earlier this month. Poundland expressed disappointment over leaving the site, which has been open since 1983 but has seen declining customer numbers. Poundland's future is uncertain as its parent company, Pepco Group, is exploring options for a potential sale of the chain. This comes after the closure of 13 stores in late 2024, as Pepco focuses on more profitable ventures in Europe.
