Discount retailer Poundstretcher has taken a 10,000 sq ft retail unit in Northampton.

The former Poundland store is under new ownership after a deal brokered by Harris Lamb. Poundstretcher will open its doors to the public on Gold Street this Saturday (July 3).

Head of rRetail for Harris Lamb, David Walton, said: “Poundstretcher has continued its UK-wide expansion over the past year and had instructed us to source a suitable site in the town as part of that growth.

“At 33,500 sq ft, this four storey building is located in a prominent position close to the Guildhall and within a five-minute walk from the bus station and prime shopping area, ensuring high levels of footfall for the business. Poundstretcher has taken approximately 10,000 ft sq at ground floor.”

Walton added: “The pandemic has changed the way people shop, and one thing they have come to expect is a safe and comfortable environment.

“Poundstretcher has seen this first hand, and sought a large outlet to ensure it continued to meet those expectations, The size and layout of this store will enable the business to to enhance its customer shopping experiene, and we’re confident it will be extremely well received.”

The retailer is now on a recruitment drive for both part and full time staff from the local area.
