The retailer revealed in June, following its takeover by investment firm Gordon Brothers, that it planned to shut 68 shops and two warehouses in the UK, putting 1,300 jobs at risk.
Poundland concluded its main store closure programme recently, shutting 57 stores, while placing 11 closures on hold.
At the beginning of the restructuring programme, there were around 800 Poundland stores located across the UK.
This number is expected to decrease to around 650 or 700 as leases expire or landlords exercise any option to serve notice.

A Poundland spokesperson said: “Customers will be able to take advantage of significant savings as these stores prepare for closure in the days ahead.
“The reductions of up to 40pc will see items marked down in price until they’re sold and cover all the stock in each store from homewares to groceries and clothing to health and beauty.”
Poundland’s retail director Darren MacDonald added: “The special reductions, on top of the value we provide in every store, will help us leave locations we’re leaving with pride.
“And when we close our doors, we look forward to welcoming customers to one of the hundreds of Poundland stores we’ll continue to operate right across the UK.”
