Poundland has closed its store in Jackson Square, less than seven months after it opened. The closure is part of a wider trend of Poundland store closures in recent months, with several other branches shutting down since the company took over former Wilko shops in September 2023. The Jackson Square closure has shocked some locals and employees, as it follows a similar closure in Alfreton, Derbyshire, earlier this month. Poundland claims that it will look for other opportunities for those affected by the store closure, but it is unclear how many jobs will be lost as a result.
