Shoppers in St Albans will once again be spoiled for choice when it comes to discount buying from this weekend when a branch of Poundland opens its doors to customers.

The shop, which will be located next to Poundworld on St Peter’s Street, will officially open tomorrow (5) at 9am and replaces the 99p Store which closed two weeks ago.

The change comes in the wake of Poundland’s £55m takeover of 99p Stores last September, and will see the retailer re-brand 251 shops nationwide, including in St Albans city centre.
