Poundland has confirmed the opening date for its newest store in Nottinghamshire.
The budget retailer will open a new store in Arnold at 9am on Saturday, May 15, bringing shoppers more choice and creating jobs in the area.
The new store at 2 Front Street will employ 24 colleagues and, at more than 7,000 square feet, the former Argos unit will offer shoppers a wide range of items at Poundland’s "amazing value."
It features Poundland’s PEP&CO clothing for the whole family, with a wide range of womenswear, menswear and kidswear, as well as PEP&CO Home ranges including ornaments and throws.
The store will also stock Poundland’s range of chilled and frozen food that has been introduced to more than 120 stores as part of project 'Diamond Ice'.
The chiller and freezer cabinets will stock a wide range of meals and snacks including ready-meals, pizzas, pies, frozen desserts and ice-cream, as well as barbecue foods for the spring and summer.
Poundland retail director Austin Cooke said: “Nottinghamshire is one of our heartlands and we’re delighted to be bringing our best ranges to Arnold.
“We know from the response elsewhere that customers will love our PEP&CO clothing and homeware, while the addition of chilled and frozen foods means they will be able to buy more of what they need in a single shopping trip.”
The company said the new store will operate to the "highest standards" of safety with barrier screens at checkouts and thorough and regular cleaning regimes applied across the day.
Customers are asked to observe government guidelines on social distancing and wearing masks.
