POUNDLAND will open a new store in Mold at 9am on Saturday, June 26.

The new store in the town’s Ambrose Lloyd Centre will employ 20 colleagues and, at more than 13,000 square feet, the former Co-op unit will offer shoppers a wide range of items.

It features Poundland’s PEP&CO clothing for the whole family, with a wide range of womenswear, menswear and kidswear, as well as PEP&CO Home which launched last year across the UK to rave reviews.

The new store will also offer Poundland’s range of chilled and frozen food that has been introduced to more than 120 stores as part of project Diamond Ice. The chiller and freezer cabinets will stock a wide range of meals and snacks including ready-meals, pizzas, pies, frozen desserts and ice-cream, as well as barbecue foods for the spring and summer.

For extra convenience, the store will have belted checkouts and trolleys.

It is the latest addition to Poundland’s network of stores across North Wales, including Flint, Wrexham, Prestatyn, Rhyl, Colwyn Bay, Llandudno and Bangor.

Poundland retail director Austin Cooke said: “We love being in North Wales and can’t wait to open our doors to welcome customers in Mold.

“We know from the response elsewhere that customers will love our PEP&CO clothing and homeware, while the addition of chilled and frozen foods means they’ll be able to buy more of what they need in a single shopping trip.”

The new store will operate to the highest standards of safety with barrier screens at checkouts and thorough and regular cleaning regimes applied across the day.

Customers are asked to observe government guidelines on social distancing and wearing masks.
