Poundland opening hours for Christmas
Poundland will close on Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
Despite December 26 being a busy day for shoppers the retailer is staying closed to give staff a “well-earned break”.
Simon Wells, people director at Poundland, said: “We really appreciate how hard our colleagues work during the year and closing the stores on these additional days over Christmas and New Year is our way of saying thank you to them – not least because this quarter has been especially busy with new store openings.”
Poundland has closed its doors on Boxing Day for the past three years.

Aldi Christmas opening times
Discounter Aldi is one of the retailers that will remain closed on Boxing Day.
They will also be shut on Christmas Day, as it is each year.
Richard Thornton, communications director at Aldi, said: “We recognise that Christmas is an important time for many of our colleagues, and keeping our stores closed on Boxing Day gives them more time to spend with their families.”
Aldi supermarkets will also be closed on New Year’s Day.
Remember to check closing times on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, as stores may be operating reduced opening hours.
What are the Boxing Day sales?
The Boxing Day sales are one of the year’s biggest shopping events, with retailers online and in-store slashing prices and selling off stock with huge reductions.
As many as 27 million people were reported to be scrambling for Boxing Day deals in the UK in 2017, meaning retailers are eager to get their share of the madness.
Price cuts on hugely desirable items such as electronics, game consoles, clothing, tech — and more — have shoppers eager to dash out and spend their Christmas money on all the must-have items.
