Poundland Hires Wilko Staff Amid Retail Expansion
Poundland has hired 962 former Wilko employees and taken over the leases of 71 Wilko stores since September. This move not only provides employment opportunities for displaced workers but also supports Poundland's digital transformation and store expansion plans, demonstrating its potential for continued growth in the retail market. The acquisition of Wilko stores allows Poundland to quickly expand its physical presence and reach a wider customer base, further solidifying its position in the competitive discount retail sector.
