Poundland

Poundland Limited is a British variety store chain founded by Dave Dodd and Steven Smith in 1990, originally selling all of its items at the single price of £1.

The retailer grew from a single location in Burton upon Trent, opening its hundredth location in 2003. In 2011, it expanded internationally by launching its first locations in Ireland under the name Dealz, and later into Poland and the Isle of Man. In 2015, it acquired rival 99p Stores. In 2016, Steinhoff International acquired Poundland for £610 million, later spinning it off into Pepco Group (formerly known as Pepkor Europe). The following year, Poundland began offering a small selection of items in its stores exceeding £1.
