It has already re-opened 37 former Wilko stores under the Poundland brand in recent weeks including in London, Manchester and Nottingham. It revealed on Wednesday it plans to expand its portfolio even further with the opening and relocation of a further 75 stores across the UK - the largest three-month growth programme in the company's history.We wouldn’t be able to do this without our amazing team - including over 500 former Wilko colleagues who are joining us.
Poundland’s managing director, Austin Cooke, 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.“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.
