💨 Abstract

Poundland is closing two more stores in Bristol and Flint this month, with the future of up to 200 more stores and thousands of jobs uncertain. The closures are part of a broader strategy by owner Pepco to sell its UK retail arm, with bidders including Gordon Brothers and Hilco. The company faces financial pressures due to increasing costs and a significant profit drop.
