A new Poundland store in Broadstairs High Street will open in September.
The store takes the site previously used by Tesco until its move last year to the new build next to Boots in the same road.
Work is currently underway to fit out the premises.
A Poundland spokesperson said: “We’re working hard to get everything ready to open our new store at 25 High Street, Broadstairs, in September. We think it will be a store the town can be proud of and we’ll announce more details shortly.”
Since opening its first store in Burton-upon-Trent in 1990, Poundland, has built a network of 917 stores in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, offering top brands and own brand products.
About time
i bet that wont please some of the council house snobs in broadstairs ?
Fantastic, I’ll no longer have any reason to go to Margate!
Except…why would you go to Margate for poundland when there’s one in Westwood ?
Because I live in Birchington, and don’t drive (far easier to jump on a bus/train to Margate!). Now I’ll simply jump on a train to Broadstairs.
Poundland in Broadstairs things must be bad, that’s the useless Tories for you.
Nothing to do with the Tories, more to do with Tesco being so successful there that they needed a bigger store, and another company being quick to realise Broadstairs’ potential.
Shops never stay empty for long in Broadstairs, ditto Birchington. Unlike Margate, Ramsgate and Westwood Cross…
Well said Peter.
Peter there is one in Ramsgate and Margate not one in Westgate.
Herne Bay has many
Companies with money filling our streets with tack.. Better than empty yeah?
Eh? We’re in agreement.
What a bitter person you are spouting your bile. Some people will have a job from this initiative. I wish Poundland good luck.
Great news i be able to buy my more wool for my sister as she does chroeting if i get a job i be able to get discount on the wool and with the amount of chroeting my sister does going to need it
Good to see that Broadstairs is going upmarket.
I thought Poundland had disappeared – presumably it will now be £2-75p land?
Broadstairs is going to pot.. Lots of companies going bust. Must be the council tax and business rates.
Rooks went into administration and bust.
Rspca shop gone
Tesco moved
What shops bring me there..
Flower shop gone
.. Gone down hill lol
Unlike Margate and Ramsgate, with vagrants begging in crumbling shop doorways, Broadstairs is still a welcoming place to shop. Ditto Herne Bay’s Mortimer Street.
As for shops like Poundland, it probably attracts more people to Margate than any pretentious restaurant or gallery, ditto (to a lesser extent) The Works.
There are ‘vagrants’ in Broadstairs too Peter 🤷🏻♂️
Yuk!
But not in Birchington, where Peter Checksfield lives. I expect there are no “crumbling shop doorways” in the spotless and sinless haven which is Birchington.
Correct.
Ditto Minnis Bay, which has been revived so much that a Post Office is opening there soon, 12 years after the last one closed!
I prefer the interesting variety of Ramsgate.
True, there is a far wider variety of crumbling shops, burning buildings and taped-off crime scenes than where I live.
You’re so bloody rude and not at all funny, Peter Checksfield, not to mention sexist.Generally offensive, in fact.. .
Thank you! It’s not often I get told that at my age.
Poundland on Broadstairs high Street 🤣 That should put the noses of those manbun-wearing, latte-sipping posh sorts out of joint
Excellent news , many things you can’t buy currently in Broadstairs that’ll be available from Poundland, great decision.
It’s a criticism, not a compliment.
Thanks again Marva! Appreciated.
I don’t want anything I say to be appreciated by Peter Checksfield.
How wonderful! You’re very kind.
Crikey Peter. You seem to rattle Marva’s cage with every post you make or comment on.
It’s unintentional (honest, guv!).
There goes the neighbourhood.
Ms. Rees to anyone who doesn’t know me.
*yawn*
Broadstairs is so snobby. Get off your high horses it’s only a Poundland, which in this current climate may help a few. Not everyone is well off and can afford a weekly shop at Harrods like so many of you like to portray. You lot really don’t know your born Broadstairs is still in thanet and thanet doesn’t have a particularly great name outside of thanet. Get over it
Surely Thanet is pretty well thought of by people outside the area, considering how popular it has become for people who want to move to the seaside.
