Poundland Information Day

Date: Monday 24th January

Time: 9.30am

Location: The Hub (3rd floor), 40 Friar Lane, Nottingham, NG1 6DQ

 

Overview

In just over 25 years since their first store opened, Poundland continues to be the high street trend-setter and is one of Europe’s biggest and fastest growing value & discount retailer, with many products at the single price of £1.

Poundland has proven that it’s possible to not just survive but thrive on the struggling high street, thanks to their successful retail proposition, ambitious growth strategy and top brands.

Poundland continues to push the boundaries of the discount sector and has created many more customer advocates as a result. Pragma research showed that 50% of UK residents have visited a Poundland store and HIM revealed that 95% of customers would recommend Poundland to friends and family.
