Poundland has confirmed it will be closing 68 stores by mid-October
Stores in Kings Heath and Coventry are among dozens being closed by West Mildands retail giant Poundland.
Some Poundland stores are launching a massive 90% off clearance sale – but because they are set to close.
In Newcastle, the retailer was previously holding a 75% off sale, but has now increased it to 90% as it attempts to clear stock before it shuts permanently.

The announcement has come as a disappointment to locals who said they were “sad” to see the store closure.
And it is not the only Poundland store due to close down this weekend.
The discount retailer confirmed it would be shuttering 48 locations this month.
A total of 12 sites will close this weekend, and a further 11 will shut the following week.
This comes after they closed 15 stores on August 17.

Poundland operates 800 stores nationwide, but the company hopes to significantly reduce this number to between 650 and 700.
This includes the 68 stores closing by mid-October, as well as additional stores shutting when leases expire and are not renewed.
These restructuring plans were outlined in June by the investment firm Gordon Brothers.
The company was sold to the American firm over the summer as part of a deal that included major restructuring and an £80m cash boost.
