Poundland owner to take on up to 71 Wilko stores

The owner of Poundland has agreed to take on the leases of dozens of Wilko shops.

Pepco Group, which owns Poundland in the UK, is expected to convert up to 71 Wilko stores to the Poundland brand, but the Stroud store isn’t on the list of shops to be saved by Poundland boss Barry Williams.
