Poundland

Poundland Wwatford I had never been in a pound store before today but had read some reviews and thought I'd check it out. The store The store was located in the town centre and was clean and well layed out. There was only stair access to the store at one entrance though, those with buggies and wheelchairs had to walk round to the other entrance though inside slopes were provided as the store was on three levels. The store had a wide range of products, groceries, gifts, household items and toys. Some were big name brands I was familiar with some were not, all though seemed to be of a good quality for the price. Shop there ...  Read the complete review

There is a fairly large 'Poundland' store in the shopping centre near to where I live and I find some of the little bargains on sale in this store are great value. Everything in the store is £1 although some of the items that are smaller - for example bars of chocolate or cans of fizzy juice are say four or three for a pound. There are several sections in the store and these range from cosmetics and makeup as well as baby toiletries and accessories like bottles to bigger items like toys and stationery. There are some clothes in the shop too like some underwear, socks and gloves but I think the quality is not too great and have never bought ...  Read the complete review

I'm sure the majority or people on Dooyoo will be aware of what Poundland is and probably have at least one or two in their nearest town or city. Established in 1990 and now with 250 outlets in the Uk for those who don't know, Poundland is a high street shop that sells a wide range of products all for a pound. When first opened I presumed that they would just sell tat from brand names no one had ever heard of and I remember avoiding the shops and confess to being a bit of a snob about it all. Curiosity got the better of me one day though and I decided to see what all the fuss was about so ventured into my local town centre store. It was with ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit then while I still lived at home with my parents and had my comfy lifestyle where money was never really a big issue, I did become a bit of a brand snob - and that would include turning my nose up to going into shops such as Poundland. However when I moved out of home and into a flat with my boyfriend within a matter of months the debts had started to run up and I realised things had to change. I began by making small changes with food shopping, but when a friend once suggested I take a look in Poundland I wasn't so sure. **The Concept** Well as the name of the store would suggest, the general concept of Poundland is to sell ...  Read the complete review

The Poundland chain is one of the few cast-iron success stories to emerge from the current recession. In an era when established, big-budget retail companies are going to the wall on a fairly regular basis (think Woolworths, Virgin/Zavvi, Officers Club, etc etc) Poundland - which has not yet reached its twentieth birthday - is expanding at a rate rarely seen elsewhere in the sector. There are now well over 200 stores, and the chain's green signs are becoming an ever more common fixture on the high street. Poundland's central gimmick is a very simple one, and one explained perfectly by its name: they sell every one of their lines for a pound. (Actually not ...  Read the complete review
