US EditionPoundland Rolls Out Pricing Overhaul
Poundland plans to price approximately 60% of grocery items at £1, aiming to reduce retail crime by over 25% and improve customer value perception after restructuring approval.
- Following a five-month pilot program at 17 locations in the West Midlands, Poundland has started implementing straightforward £1, £2, and £3 grocery pricing throughout all of its UK branches.
- The rollout followed a successful trial that cut shoplifting by over 25% by removing higher-priced items attractive to thieves.
- The pricing change includes about 60% of grocery items priced at £1, with expansion beyond the Midlands to cities like Manchester and Liverpool.
- According to Poundland’s managing director, customer feedback during the trial period strongly supports the move towards a simpler and more value-focused store.
- Following High Court approval of a major restructuring and injection of £60 million funding, Poundland will close 68 stores and continue refining its pricing and product ranges.
