A new pricing structure is just one of the changes that the retailer has made in a bid to improve its business performance. However, the brand made the decision to close stores across the country, and many communities lost their local Poundland in 2025. Stores shut throughout the year, and the firm’s store count went from 800 to 651 last year, with thousands of jobs cut along the way.
