Poundland is to push ahead with more store closures after receiving court approval for a major restructuring plan.<\/p>\n
In June, the discount retail chain said it planned to permanently shut 68 shops<\/a> after being sold by Pepco Group to Peach Bidco, a subsidiary of private equity firm Gordon Brothers, for \u00a31.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, the company told a judge that the plan would save it from entering administration, with barristers telling a hearing on Tuesday that it was set to run out of money by September 7 if the scheme had not been sanctioned.<\/p>\n The group has already shut dozens of stores but will now be able to end these leases early and push ahead with further closures.<\/p>\n These are the stores set to be closed on Sunday August 31:<\/strong><\/p>\n Blackburn, Lancashire<\/p>\n Cookstown<\/a>, Northern Ireland<\/strong><\/p>\n Erdington, West Midlands<\/p>\n Kimberley Nottingham, Nottinghamshire<\/p>\n Horsham, West Sussex<\/p>\n Hull Kingston retail park, East Yorkshire<\/p>\n Kettering, Northamptonshire<\/p>\n Omagh<\/a>, Northern Ireland<\/strong><\/p>\n Shepherd\u2019s Bush, Greater London<\/p>\n Southport, Merseyside<\/p>\n Taunton, Somerset<\/p>\n This store will shut on September 14:<\/p>\n Irvine, Scotland<\/p>\n The following stores have already closed:<\/strong><\/p>\n Ammanford, Wales<\/p>\n Birmingham Fort Shopping Park, West Midlands<\/p>\n Cardiff, Wales<\/p>\n Cramlington, Northumberland<\/p>\n Leicester, Leicestershire<\/p>\n Long Eaton, Nottinghamshire<\/p>\n Port Glasgow, Scotland<\/p>\n Seaham, County Durham<\/p>\n Shrewsbury, Shropshire<\/p>\n Tunbridge Wells, Kent<\/p>\n Bedford, Bedfordshire<\/p>\n Bidston Moss, Merseyside<\/p>\n Broxburn, Scotland<\/p>\n Craigavon<\/a>, Northern Ireland<\/strong><\/p>\n Dartmouth, Devon<\/p>\n East Dulwich, Greater London<\/p>\n Falmouth, Cornwall<\/p>\n Hull St Andrew retail park, East Yorkshire<\/p>\n Newtownabbey<\/a>, Northern Ireland<\/strong><\/p>\n Perth, Scotland<\/p>\n Poole, Dorset<\/p>\n Sunderland Pallion retail park, Tyne and Wear<\/p>\n Stafford, Staffordshire<\/p>\n Thornaby, North Yorkshire<\/p>\n Worcester, Worcestershire<\/p>\n Brigg, North Lincolnshire<\/p>\n Canterbury, Kent<\/p>\n Coventry Hertford Street, West Midlands<\/p>\n Newcastle Killingworth Centre, Tyne and Wear<\/p>\n Kings Heath, West Midlands<\/p>\n Peterborough Orton Gate shopping centre, Cambridgeshire<\/p>\n Peterlee, County Durham<\/p>\n Rainham, Kent<\/p>\n Salford, Greater Manchester<\/p>\n Sheldon, West Midlands<\/p>\n Wells, Somerset<\/p>\n Whitechapel, Greater London<\/p>\n Swiss Cottage, Greater London<\/p>\n Southampton West Quay, Hampshire<\/p>\n Chiswick, Greater London<\/p>\n Poundland said it will shut down 16 more stores but has not yet identified their locations.<\/p>\n It is understood that the closure dates for these are likely to be announced later in the year, when store workers will be informed.<\/p>\n For all the latest news, visit the Belfast Live homepage <\/strong>here<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>sign up to our daily newsletter<\/strong><\/a> here.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Discount retail chain said it planned to permanently shut 68 shops after being sold by Pepco Group to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375269,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5011],"tags":[3085,5116,87755,378,87752,1144,92049,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-375268","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-northern-ireland","8":"tag-business-news","9":"tag-cookstown","10":"tag-craigavon","11":"tag-in-the-news","12":"tag-newtownabbey","13":"tag-northern-ireland","14":"tag-omagh","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115095802088112865","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375268\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
