Poundworld Going Under

Other

Not that it wasn't already known but now it's kind of official.

Those £1 stores had the priced hiked up to way more than that, so, good riddance. The only ones who are truly affected by this are the employees that got the boot.

Britain streets cleaning itself up from stores that weren't selling anything, or hardly. It looks like the country is in a phase of being reshaped and that is all around great.

Yes, people are losing their jobs but at the same time this gives opportunity for more profitable (w/affordable prices) businesses to take place. UK needs to stop trying imitate US and be its own thing, like it used to.

Just take a look at other countries, they don't have £1-type stores but work fine without it as their prices are competitive. Plus, you have the online Chinese Aliexpress retailer with free worldwide delivery in case their prices are a tad pricey and you're willing to wait a few weeks.

It's very sad that poundworld is closing. The next one will be Poundland. To close. I go on line to by shopping at Poundland. But like you said there are other site you can shop for. I all so get very good stuff from the USA and China. Which are cheap but very good.
