Poundland is the self proclaimed biggest single-price discount retailer in Europe, selling everything for just £1.This is possibly excellent news for many residents in Canterbury, but is not so good for market traders that trade just opposite the store. Steve Bamber, chairman of the traders for Canterbury said “It will be selling similar stock to what we already sell outside”.
One the plus side the new store will create 30 jobs for Canterbury. Poundlands director David Coxon said “opening here will create new jobs and a great shopping experience for the local community”.
The store will be opening on 20 May and according the posters in the window, Larry Lamb also known as the late Archie Mitchell from Eastenders will be opening the store.
