A NEW discount store is coming to an Oxfordshire town next week.

Poundland will open in Banbury on August 29 bringing with it the full range of PEP&CO fashion and homeware.

It will take over the space previously occupied by Next clearance at Banbury Cross Retail Park and complement Poundland’s existing town centre store.

The 12,000 sq ft shop is one of Poundland’s largest and will employ around 20 colleagues. 

The brand is opening another two stores on the same day in Nottinghamshire and Shropshire.

Poundland retail director Austin Cooke said: “It’s great to be able to open three stores on one day and on a bank holiday weekend too when customers can browse our PEP&CO shop-in-shops.

“We love Telford and are delighted to be a part of the town’s future by moving into a bigger store so we can offer our customers even more choice.

“We’re very excited to be opening in Bulwell and especially because the new store will include our full chilled and frozen food range which has got a sizzling reception at the stores that have got it so far.

“The mezzanine level at our new Banbury store is perfect for our PEP&CO shop-in-shop and it will fill a gap in the market for clothing and homeware.”
