£1 Poundland rule they brought back to all UK stores after 'listening to customers'

Poundland will roll out £1, £2 and £3 grocery pricing across all UK stores in phases between now and September, shifting from a single-price to a simple price model with customer support, management said.
Williams says the strict £1 rule limited product range and sent customers elsewhere, while Pepco put the group up for sale after government increases in national insurance and business rates , and a former Poundland director warned the brand had become confusing with multiple price points.
Back in August, Poundland reintroduced a £1 rule during a major shake-up, raising the share of grocery items sold at £1 to 60 per cent.
Williams says customers will back a simpler Poundland, which the company hopes will retain shoppers, as management argued broader price points reduce visits to rival stores.
The timing of the rollout comes amid corporate restructuring and external criticism as Pepco put the group up for sale after cost increases, while public critics and a former Poundland director warn of confusion risks.
