The future of Dealz in Ireland has been confirmed as the company shuts down 68 stores total and two warehouses across the UK. It comes after Poundland, the name of Dealz in the UK, was acquired by an investment firm in June 2025 - Polish-based retail group Pepco owns Poundland and Dealz. By the end of September, they had closed around 57 stores, with an additional 11 placed on hold. People have spotted several other Poundland locations holding significant sales, with discounts hitting up to 40% off. However, a spokesperson for Poundland confirmed that their current restructuring plan only applies to stores in the UK and those in the Republic of Ireland will remain unchanged. It was previously stated that following the overhaul, they expect to operate between 650 to 700 stores across the UK, which is down from the 800 locations that existed before the restructuring. A representative for Poundland said: “Customers will be able to take advantage of significant savings as these stores prepare for closure in the days ahead. “The reductions of up to 40pc will see items marked down in price until they're sold and cover all the stock in each store from homewares to groceries and clothing to health and beauty.” Poundland's UK country manager, Darren MacDonald, also stated: “We know how disappointing it is when we leave a store, but before we close our doors for a final time, we're determined to say goodbye by offering even more amazing value to customers. "The special reductions, on top of the value we provide in every store, will help us leave locations we're leaving with pride. "And when we close our doors, we look forward to welcoming customers to one of the hundreds of Poundland stores we'll continue to operate right across the UK." Here are the Poundland stores that closed before the end of 2025: In November and December, the following will close: Matlock (November 2) Hailsham (November 2) Perry Barr (November 2) Carlisle (November 9) Burnley (November 9) Witham (November 12) Sidcup (November 14) Loughborough (November 14) New Malden (November 16) Peckham (November 20) Dalston (November 24) Beeston (November 27) Launceston (November 29) Melton Mowbray (December 4) Droitwich (December 9) Hempstead Valley (December 31) Locations that closed before the end of September: Ammanford Bedford Bidston Moss Birmingham Fort Blackburn Brigg Broxburn Canterbury Cardiff Valegate Coventry Cookstown Craigavon Cramlington Dartmouth East Dulwich Erdington Falmouth Horsham Hull St Andrews Inverclyde Irvine Kettering Kimberley Kings Heath Leicester Long Eaton Newcastle Newtonabbey Omagh Perth Peterborough Peterlee Pontypool Poole Port Glasgow Rainham Salford Seaham Sheldon Shepherd’s Bush Shrewsbury Southport Stafford Sunderland Taunton Thornaby Tunbridge Wells Wealdstone Wells Whitby Whitechapel Worcester
