High street giant Poundland has excited shoppers with plans to open giant new budget stores across the UK. Shoppers looking for bargains have become more reliant on stores like Poundland, Home Bargains and B&M through the cost of living crisis, and look to budget retailers for both big-name and own-brand products that won't break the bank.

As a result of its popularity with shoppers, Poundland is now set to open more large-scale shops. At the moment, twelve new stores have been planned to open over the next month.

Poundland has confirmed the exact locations and opening dates for the planned stores. The new store in Crown Street, Glasgow, will become the largest store in Scotland at 18,380 square feet in size.

The huge expansion plans will see Poundland open half a million square feet of retail space and create up to 800 new jobs. Poundland managing director Barry Williams previously told The Mirror: “We know how customers appreciate the effort we’ve made in the last few years to transform our offer, offering them more of what they want to buy, week-in, week-out. “That transformation means we have to step up our search for the best locations to bring the best of Poundland to customers across the UK and that’s precisely what we’ll do in 2023.
