Poundland has confirmed the locations of another dozen stores earmarked for closure under its restructuring plan.
The next tranche of stores takes the total identified to 52 out of 68, with 13 having closed so far and 15 more planned for 17 August, The Grocer reported.
A dozen units are also set to close on 24 August, with 11 more closing on 31 August and one in Irvine on 14 September.
The discount chain, acquired by former Laura Ashley owner Gordon Brothers in June, has been left waiting for leases to expire until it receives court approval later this month.
Following its restructuring plan, the retailer hopes to shrink its store estate from 800 nationwide to between 650 and 700.
