💨 Abstract

Around 100 Poundland stores are at risk of closure after being acquired by Gordon Brothers for £1. Eighteen stores have already closed or are set to close by August, including locations in Barrow-in-Furness, Flint, Newquay, and Cowes. Locals in Newquay are petitioning against the closure, citing the shop's importance for affordable essentials.
