Poundland confirms Falkirk store reopening date

The branch in The Howgate shopping centre was one of around 100 placed into what the company describes as ‘hibernation’ due to the coronavirus lockdown.

Shoppers will be welcomed back to the store from this Friday, June 26, with robust health and safety measures in place.

Poundland retail director Austin Cooke said: “All our colleagues have worked incredibly hard to keep the vast bulk of our stores open and we’re delighted to be welcoming back those in the final phase of our reopening programme.

“We’re pleased that so many of our retail neighbours are reopening too as our customers once again say hi to their High Streets.

“While this feels like an important milestone on getting back to normal, it’s important we all maintain the social distancing and hygiene regimes that have helped us shop smart and stay safe.”
