Ipswich Poundland among stores to temporarily close
The variety store company announced 44 will temporarily shut in the UK due to lockdown
Poundland has announced it will shut a number of it's stores temporarily from Saturday 9th January across the UK despite being classed as an essential retailer.
The discount chain says it has been impacted by an 80% drop in footfall across some shopping centres and high streets due to Covid-19 restrictions.
It's got over 800 stores across the country, so the majority will remain open, but its shop in Sailmakers Shopping Centre in Ipswich will be among that to temporarily cease trading.
