Poundland extends Lisnagelvin store to bring shoppers more choice

The extra space means the store can offer an even wider variety of the essentials and more that customers need under one roof.

The extension increases the floor space by more than half, taking it to 10,000 square feet and it will create 10 new jobs for colleagues who will join the existing team of 28.

The Lisnagelvin store has remained open during lockdown as an essential retailer, with the team playing an important role supporting their local community. Customers should stick to the regulations on staying at home, but if they need to visit the store our colleagues are ready to help them.

All the work has been carried out in line with official guidelines on safe working during Covid-19. Like all Poundland stores, Lisnagelvin has robust hygiene and social distancing measures in place to protect customers and colleagues.

Olivia McLoughlin, Poundland Ireland retail country manager, said the store was at the heart of the community: “We think customers will love the extra space and the wider range of everyday items on offer. During the lockdown, we’re there for the essentials that our customers need and in the longer term our colleagues at Lisnagelvin are ready to play a big part in the community in the months and years ahead.”
