Chain will be the pound of veggies land

- BY JACK CLOVER

POUNDLAND is set to offer fresh food in a bid to become a one-stop-shop for groceries.

The cut-price chain opened its biggest ever store in Nottingham yesterday which is due to sell bread, fruit and veg.

“It’s a natural extension of what our customers are looking for,” said managing director Barry Williams.

Grocery sales soared in the pandemic but business hasn’t been easy for discounter­s.

The chain, which traditiona­lly sold long-life food for around a £1, aims to become a full grocery shop to attract new customers.

Poundland has trialled fresh food, but this is the first time it will be stocked in a large branch.

The new store aims to feel like a full supermarke­t.
