Poundland has launched a loyalty scheme called Poundland Perks, offering customers points and exclusive promotions for every £1 spent in-store. The app-based program allows users to earn 100 points for every £1 spent, with 5,000 points redeemable for a £1 off voucher. In addition to discounts, members can participate in spin-to-win competitions for additional rewards. Poundland Perks is currently available in select stores in Scotland and is expected to roll out UK-wide later this year.
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.
Poundland, the high street discount chain, has announced the closure of nine former Wilko stores. The company has been evaluating its store portfolio and made the decision to close these specific locations as part of that process. Staff affected by the closures will be offered roles in nearby stores, and some locations have been replaced or closed due to redevelopment plans.
