Poundland to take over Lichfield bargain shop

A new Poundland store is to open in Lichfield, taking over another bargain shop weeks after it closed.

The Willenhall-based company will be taking over The Hub shop in the Three Spires Shopping Centre.

The Hub – run by Poundland co-founder David Dodd – went into liquidation last month after bosses admitted they could not compete with the huge buying power of established discount shops.
