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.
The Poundland stores that are known to have closed in 2025 are:

Poundland has not released an official list of stores that closed in 2025. Closures were staggered throughout the year. A number of stores also closed in 2024.
Meanwhile, Poundland announced plans to shut several more stores at the beginning of 2026, with some having already closed for the last time. Poundland's 2026 closures are:
Dorchester - January 18Plymstock - January 20Bearwood Smethwick - January 23Cameron Toll in Edinburgh - January 20Nottingham Eastpoint in Nottinghamshire - January 22Lymington, Hampshire - January 23Christchurch, High Street, Dorset - January 23Chichester - February 8Feltham - February 8Crayford - February 11Nottingham, Chilwell - February 13Urmston - February 16
Poundland isn't the only business to shut a significant number of high street stores. River Island has also announced a slew of closures, while New Look shuttered many stores across the UK last year.
