And prices will go up :confused:

I don't like the idea of a poundland taking over as all goods cost an extra 1p and well it all adds up.

50% off is 49.5p

Yep, but it ain't posh.
But would you believe you can walk from the top to the bottom of the high street in about 10 minutes which makes all the duplication of shops weird.

Southend. Na na na na na na! :-)

Well in the hight street we also have a Boots at the top and bottom, also 2 Superdrugs, 2 McDonald's, 3 Greggs and 2 Sandtanders ( had 4 at one time.)
I am beginning to think they may change the 99p store to the + variety becsuse there's a Bargin Buys just 2 doors away, which is owned by Poundworld.
A clue of my town. It has the longest pier in the world. :smiley:

Stll waiting to sre what happens to my towns 99p store.
We have poundland at one end of the high street and another at the other end with the 99p store in the middle

hot for closing down

Is the Balham store changing to a Poundland or is it closing down? It's handy for bitsn bobs but was a very scruffy store.

99p stores rule kitted my hole house out from one looks great and only cost me £14.85

That's genius that is, showed my wife and she said used it on me! Rude I know.

I'm intrigued as to how they're going to deal with inflation. Will they be the called one-pound-thirty-eight-land in years to come?

99p shop turns into a £1 shop! :laughing:

They're probably rupees.....

Tell that to the petrol stations!

You do not have to buy anything. It is an invitation to treat. Jeeez. Some people.....

The Thurston's jam that these stores carry is first rate. It's rebaged sodoglu (Turkish) jam, good high fruit content. Will be marked down as perishables always are.

someone should mention here that a store titled 99p should sell all goods for 99p and any difrence in this price is a misguided sale and as such should be reported to trading standards.

99p stores had better variety of stuff than poundland! So not sure why they sold up to poundland! But poundland are solid and going strong! Hope poundworld dont get bought out otherwise youll have poundland everywhere!

But is there VAT? :neutral_face:

St Albans one, closing too, got a little Lego style helicopter for 69p as all toys 30% off. It was good compared to most fake Lego. It went together nicely, didn't look too naff when built, would have cost about £4 if real Lego. Most toys in there fit for the bin but a few bargains to be had.....

There is this one 99p store that is now called 99p Store +Plus and sells more items that are more than 99p. They said that this is there new name and is going to be just like b&m. But they should change the name as well.

one of the 99p stores near us, was totally rebadge - new store layout signage and prices up... but easier for checkout staff

I wonder if it was this store that was infested with rats? Poundland have had to pay thousands in fines because of it!

Half p's dont exist......

excellent find heat added

I live in Exeter and read some time ago that our 99p store was being taken over by Poundland, however, it hasn't happened properly yet. The 99p store has been selling the toys off for 69p since Christmas. However, today I popped in and a lot of the shelves were empty - I've never seen so many gaps on the shelves, so, perhaps the Exeter store is on the verge of actually officially being taken over now.

Thank you sir you have corrected me.

Yes 1p..

I thought all of the 99p stores have already changed. My local change over a month or so ago.

They've been bought out by poundland

good find op, heat added
