Poundland to shut 49 stores across the UK with 10 closing for good today - check if it's vanishing from YOUR high street
Poundland is set to shut 49 stores across the UK, with ten closing for good today, it has been revealed. The discount shop chain's owner, Polish firm Pepco Group, sold the struggling business in June to US-based Gordon Brothers for a 'nominal fee' of just £1. The investment firm, which used to own textile brand Laura Ashley, said it would inject up to £80million into restructuring the company. As part of these efforts, it has said a whopping nearly 70 Poundland stores will close by mid-October - nearly ten per cent of the estimated total network of 800. Three of these 68 ill-fated branches have already shut their doors - and now, the locations of 49 more of them have been confirmed. After the shutters come down on ten of them today, some 15 stores will then close in just a week's time, on August 17, followed by 12 on August 24, and 11 on August 31. The final closure of this group of 49 will then come on September 14, with the shutdown of the branch at the Rivergate Shopping Centre in Irvine, North Ayrshire. After this sweeping move, some 16 more stores will still need to close to reach the total of 68 - but their locations and closing dates are yet to be revealed. The three stores which have already pulled their shutters down for the last time include the branch in Swiss Cottage, north-west London, which closed on April 20. The store in Chiswick, west London, then shut on May 28, followed by the branch in the Southampton West Quay shopping centre on June 9. Poundland's retail director Darren MacDonald said the chain is working towards a still 'sizeable' network of around 650-700 stores in the restructuring. The closure of 68 branches outright will be followed by additional shutdowns when leases expire and are not renewed. But he emphasised: 'It is of course, sincerely regrettable that we're closing a number of stores to allow us to get us back on track. 'We entirely understand how disappointing it will be for customers when a store nearby closes but we look forward to continuing to welcome them to one of our other locations. 'Work is underway to with colleagues through a formal consultation process in stores scheduled to close, exploring any suitable alternative roles.' August 24 closure locations Brigg, North Lincolnshire Canterbury, Kent Coventry, West Midlands Newcastle, Tyne and Wear Kings Heath, Birmingham Peterborough, Cambridgeshire Peterlee, County Durham Rainham, Kent Salford, Greater Manchester Sheldon, Birmingham Wells, Somerset Whitechapel, London August 31 closure locations Blackburn, Lancashire Cookstown, County Tyrone Erdington, Birmingham Kimberley Shopping Centre, Nottingham Horsham, West Sussex Hull Holderness, East Yorkshire Kettering, Northamptonshire Omagh, County Tyrone Shepherds Bush, London Southport, Merseyside Taunton, Somerset On top of the closures, Gordon Brothers' restructuring plans will also involve negotiating rent reductions at certain store locations. For instance, while one Poundland store in Canterbury, Kent, is sadly due to close, the city's other branch, on St George's Street, has reopened. It shut down on July 23, not as part of the list of 68 set to close amid the restructuring - but opened its doors again on August 1 after a new lease agreement was secured. They will also close Poundland's frozen and digital distribution centre in the village of Darton, South Yorkshire, later this year. This will see frozen products removed from stores and much fewer chilled food items. The new owners also plan to shut the chain's distribution centre in the town of Bilston, West Midlands, by early 2026. Other cost-cutting measures include stopping selling products online and expand the chain's womenswear and seasonal collections. But all these additional changes, beyond the 49 store closures, still need to be approved by the High Court later this month. Poundland went under the hammer in March, with its previous owners Pepco putting it on the market after issues with sales. The firm reported a 6.5 per cent drop in the chain's revenue, which sunk to £830million for the six months to March, versus the previous year. Pepco blamed the decline on 'highly challenging trading conditions', with the franchise struggling to make sales in all product categories. Some 18 stores closed in this period.

British brands are back in vogue despite gloomy economic outlook
The economic outlook may be gloomy but a bright spot is the re-emergence of Britishness as a successful business formula. Epitomising the return of Cool Britannia were the Lionesses, with the England football team in Marks & Spencer tailoring, draped with national flags on their victory bus. Florals are one quintessential strain of Britishness seen in Laura Ashley's womenswear, its furniture and homeware. It was acquired this year by US firm Marquee Brands, whose portfolio includes the Martha Stewart lifestyle business. Poppy Marshall-Lawton, who is leading Laura Ashley's revival, said: 'British brands that dial into and stay true to their roots cut through the noise. The global appetite is very strong and, if you can lean into this unique identity, you can really connect with a new generation of customers.' Another beneficiary is Burberry. Shares in the brand are up almost 60 per cent over the past three months. Its turnaround is focused on iconic products such as trench coats – and bucket hats. These are back in vogue thanks to Oasis, whose concerts have reignited the popularity of this Cool Britannia streetwear accessory. Steve Fine, head of stockbroker Peel Hunt, said UK firms were seen as bargains by US investors because 'our domestic self-esteem is quite low'. He called for Britons to 'gain confidence, the political situation notwithstanding'.

This luxury home appliance collab is a simple hack to transform your kitchen - but should you ditch your favourite air fryer for something less ugly?
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more An air fryer brand's collaboration with luxury British designer Laura Ashley is aiming to tackle an ongoing issue that plagues appliance enthusiasts and their kitchens - air fryers are ugly. This unusual partnership sees appliance brand VQ team up with with the timeless Kent-founded brand to showcase its traditional floral bone china print. It has a 4.5l litre capacity, digital screen and can cook for up to an hour from 80C to 200C. The removable basket is also dishwasher-safe, while the rest of the machine can be wiped clean - ideal as it's important to keep your air fryer clean. Laura Ashley China Rose air fryer £99.99 Shop At £99 it's cheaper than a lot of air fryers, with the really good ones setting you back over £200. But given its specs, you could pick up something similar for less - what you're really paying for here is the iconic Laura Ashley print. In fact, fans of the print can deck their entire kitchen out in the print, as the brand has also collaborated on everything from kettles to slow cookers. Should you ditch your ugly air fryer? Air fryers have a reputation for being utilitarian and a bit samey. despite attempts from brands such as Ninja and Our Place to break away from the classic, boring design with things like the Crispi and the Wonder Oven. The truth is, the classic shapes and designs just work well, which is why despite trends, many air fryers have stayed the same while continuing to gain popularity. This Laura Ashley air fryer proves that a traditional design doesn't mean sticking to the same boring black and grey colours, though. Designer-led appliances appear to be a controversial topic though and the floral pattern is dividing air fryer fans. I surveyed friends, family and colleagues to see how they felt about having a flowery fryer in their kitchen - and while some loved the idea, others said the bold print was 'too much'. No matter your opinion, there's no denying that this is an interesting design that could transform the look and feel of your kitchen countertop. While I wouldn't go running to the local charity shop with a perfectly good air fryer just yet - a designer print to compliment your kitchen is worth considering for your next upgrade. Are designer air fryers the next big thing? Designer kitchen appliance collaborations are nothing new. Smeg is well known for partnering with luxury designer Dolce & Gabbana on a whole slew of products including kettles, stand mixers and even fridges. Despite this, VQ's Laura Ashley collaboration is one of the only designer inspired air fryers I've seen. With the air fryer fad showing no signs of slowing down and a rise in demand for colourful and fashionable air fryers, I wouldn't be surprised if we start to see more designer-inspired models making an appearance.
