Poundland will close its store in Warminster, Wiltshire on 21 November after failing to agree a new lease.

Poundland has confirmed the closure of its Warminster store at 17 Market Place on Saturday, 21 November, after failing to reach agreement on a new lease for the premises. The discount retailer said the closure would be disappointing for customers and colleagues.

A company spokesperson stated that staff consultation is already underway and that the company is working to support affected employees. The spokesperson said: 'It goes without saying that whenever we close a store in these circumstances, we do all we can to look after colleagues as part of the consultation that takes place.' The company has not disclosed how many staff members could be affected by the closure.

Shoppers have just over a month remaining to use the Warminster branch before it closes its doors for the final time.
