The new stores will operate under the Poundland name in the UK, and the Dealz brand in Ireland, and will create 280 new permanent jobs. Poundland also revealed plans to open 45 more branches over the next 12 months as part of a £15 million investment.
All of the new stores will stock Pep&Co clothing and homeware, while 119 will offer frozen and chilled food by Christmas.
Poundland managing director, Barry Williams, said, "Poundland is going through the biggest transformation in our history and as part of that we’ve got ambitious plans to open new stores across the country where we can be a vital part of the retail community.
"We’ve broadened our ranges in groceries and household products and we’ve introduced Pep&Co clothing and homeware which means our customers can buy more of what they need under one roof.
