Poundland in Fareham opens new store after relocating

The shop moved into the former Wilko store in West Street

Transcript

00:00 We're at Fairham for the new opening of the Poundland store.

00:03 Tell me about why you've moved premises

00:04 from just up the road here.

00:06 - So, better premises, bigger offer,

00:09 much broader scope, better building.

00:12 You know, we've got plenty of opportunities

00:14 to extend the range and show customers what we're all about.

00:17 - There's also the fact that as a company,

00:19 we've taken on over 70 of these sites,

00:21 so we've managed to reinvest back into the community,

00:24 open up stores that were closed down

00:25 and the products remained redundant.

00:27 And we've also managed to take on all the products

00:29 that remained redundant in the store as well.

00:30 So we've invested back in the community.

00:32 - So the guys who are working here for Wilkinsons

00:34 are now employed by you?

00:35 - Yes.

00:35 - Fantastic.

00:36 And you mentioned you extended your range.

00:37 What can we expect to see in this store

00:39 that you haven't had previously?

00:40 - We've got clothing in here,

00:41 we've got a far bigger range on the Poundland core products

00:45 than what we have around the corner.

00:47 And then coming in the new year,

00:48 we'll have fresh food and frozen food coming in as well.

00:51 - Fantastic.

00:52 Well, there's an eager queue at nine o'clock

00:53 on a rainy morning, so it looks good

00:55 and wish you all the best.

00:56 Thank you very much.

00:57 - Thank you very much.
