Nottinghamshire is set to lose another Poundland store, with the Chilwell Retail Park branch confirmed to cease trading on February 13, 2026. This closure marks the sixth Poundland shop to shut its doors in the county, following recent closures in Radford, Kimberley, Beeston, and Arnold. The Sneinton branch is also scheduled to close on January 22.
Key Takeaways
- The Poundland store at Chilwell Retail Park will close on February 13, 2026.
- This is the sixth Poundland closure in Nottinghamshire.
- A clearance sale is already underway at the Chilwell location.
Background to the Closures
Poundland announced a significant number of store closures across the UK earlier this year as part of a "restructuring and recovery" plan. This strategy aims to return the business to growth and establish a financially sustainable operating model. The plan initially included the closure of 68 stores nationwide.
Specifics of the Chilwell Closure
While the Chilwell Retail Park branch was not initially on the list of stores slated for closure, Poundland has confirmed that the decision was made because the company could not secure suitable terms to continue trading at the retail park. A spokesperson for the retailer clarified that this specific closure is not directly linked to the broader sale of the business by Pepco Group to a subsidiary of Gordon Brothers International LLC.
A clearance sale is currently in progress at the Chilwell store, offering customers an opportunity to purchase items at reduced prices before the final closure date.
