Poundland has announced that more shoppers will be able to buy frozen and chilled foods from its stores after expanding a successful trial.
The value retailer said it would roll out frozen and chilled food to 60 stores in coming weeks as it moves further into grocery sales. The company said it had seen a successful trial of five ‘shop-in-shops’ selling products ranging from luxury yogurts to frozen fish. It said almost one in 10 stores would benefit from the expansion, which has seen Poundland partner with frozen food specialist Fulton Foods. The expansion programme will cover a number of towns and cities in the North and Midlands, with the first stores to receive the changes in Gateshead, Hartlepool,Poundland said it expected to open the first 20 shop-in-shops by the end of this month and the other 40 by early June.
Poundland has also been at the centre of speculation regarding a possible stock market listing or sale as its troubled South African owner Steinhoff looks to reduce its heavy debt burden.
It's been 'multiples of a poundland' for years now
They’ve sold stuff for more than a quid for years now. Nothing new. Next ‘headline’ 🤔
Technically it's name doesnt suggest one pound either just 'pound'
