To think Poundland needs another name?

Nothing much in there is a pound and they are stocking clothing etc?
Do they need a name change?
Misleading.

Poundsland would do I suppose. Barely seems worth the effort of rebranding though.

They trade as Dealz in Ireland and other Euro countries.

Clothes are at the back there's nothing telling you they sell clothes.
Poundland isn't appropriate today.

i picked up a small toy in Dealz (Polly Pocket or similar) last week & went to pay, thinking it would be 3 or 4 quid. It was €12.99! I days I didn’t want it. Might as well go to Smyths!

Pay Exactly the same as you would anywhere else - land

It’s not called everything’s a pound land. So although they used to sell things for only a pound, they don’t have to change their name as it still sells things in multiples of pounds.

NeverEnoughPants · 14/05/2024 21:06

Why are you picking on Poundland, when everything5pounds exists...

Nikkynakkynoo · 14/05/2024 21:10

Haha...I took DS recently and he took great delight in pointing out every single thing that wasn't a pound 😂

SabreIsMyFave · 14/05/2024 21:11

Agree. Needed changing about 5-6 years ago truth be told.

I guess Iceland don't just sell frozen goods

£1.25 land doesn’t have the same ring to it.

They also seem to be stocking much more home ware so £4.50 land more like!

The clothing is branded as Pep&co- that’s even more expensive than a couple of years ago

YoureALizardHarry11 · 14/05/2024 21:27

If everything was priced in £1 increments, £1, £2, £3, £4 etc then it would make a bit more sense, but it’s not and most things are cheaper elsewhere anyway. The £1 things are usually just tat. I’m surprised it’s still going what with the likes of b&m and home bargains being better now.

I miss the 99p shop. Everything WAS 99p
