Poundland has revealed it is reopening another 15 of its stores tomorrow (May 20).
The high street favourite placed one in nine stores into “hibernation” in March, as Boris Johnson announced the UK lockdown.
Now, however, the bargain chain is “steadily reopening” those that were temporarily closed.
On Monday (May 18), the chain reopened 34 of its closed stores and welcomed customers for the first time in weeks.
Poundland has kept most of its stores open for essential shopping, but now the rest are starting to reopen as part of “Operation Sleeping Beauty”.

The latest batch of stores stretch from the South West of England to the North East and includes stores in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Poundland said it intends to reopen the remaining hibernating stores as early as next week.
Health and safety first
Robust health and safety measures will operate in all stores.
Customers can expect to see marshals at the door to limit the number of customers in store at any one time.
