Poundland is set to close three stores across the UK in December, marking a difficult year for the retailer. The discount chain was acquired by investment firm Gordon Brothers for just £1 in June, with plans subsequently confirmed to reduce the Poundland network from 800 stores to between 650 and 600.

Dozens of stores have now shut for good across the UK with more closures on the horizon this month. One of Poundland's biggest challenges in recent times has been its own name. Selling items for £1 no longer works like it once did, as a £1 item in 1990 is now worth the equivalent of 40p after inflation. Other companies, such as OneBeyond, have ditched the £1 model as it undermines the economics of value retailing.
