Roll up, roll up… Poundland founder cashes in on store’s success with new online venture Poundshop. And you guessed it – everything’s a quid!
Us Brits love it when we find a bargain, don’t we? Whether it’s cut-price groceries or discounted homewares, we’re there in droves.
And if you love picking up a few items at Poundland on a Saturday (and we won’t think badly of you if you do), then you’ll be pleased to hear that a new online pound shop launched this week.
Poundland founder Steve Smith, who sold his share in the company in 2002, is to take the idea online, by launching a new website Poundshop.com.
The news seems to have sent potential bargain hunters into a spin, as the website, which launched yesterday, was struggling due to high web traffic.
As savvy shoppers will already know, the total cost of your online shopping depends on extra charges – and the expected delivery charge will be around £3.
Another place to find great bargains is online homewares store Achica, where you’ll find luxury lifestyle brands including Content by Conran, Anglepoise and Bodum, with up to 70% off.
Achica is now celebrating four years of being the UK’s leading online store for stylish homewares at discount prices – and the website reached 3 million members in the past year.
‘Achica has enjoyed four years in a market where there has been a strong demand for high quality and easily accessible homewares,’ says Will Cooper, CEO and co-founder of Achica.
