Poundland is shutting another UK store this month - following a string of recent closures.
The high street retailer will say goodbye to its Cumbernauld shop in North Lanarkshire on June 11.
It comes after Poundland pulled down the shutters on its King’s Lynn branch on June 2.
Nine other Poundland sites have closed since February, including:
Poundland Team Valley, Gateshead - CLOSED May 25
Poundland Festival Park, Stoke - CLOSED May 19
Poundland Dewsbury - CLOSED May 17
Poundland Swadlincote - CLOSED April 25
Poundland Epsom - CLOSED March 29
Poundland Lime Square, Openshaw - CLOSED March 27
Poundland Ipswich - CLOSED March 11
Poundland Southport - CLOSED March 3
Poundland Walkden - CLOSED February 28
Some shops were closed after their lease expired, while others have been relocated to bigger premises.
In fact, Poundland had previously announced plans to open or relocate 50 new shops by September this year.
The huge expansion plans will see Poundland open half a million square feet of retail space and create up to 800 new jobs.

It comes after a record expansion in 2022, over which 186 new stores were opened across the UK.
Along with the new openings, Greggs said it plans to relocate 40 shops to new, larger sites, as well as trial a 24-hour drive thru service.
Another eight to 10 drive-thru locations will open this year, adding to the 17 drive-thrus currently spotted across the UK.
