Rugby shoppers left saddened at news of another bargain store's closure
A bargain store in Rugby town centre is closing its doors on October 7.
Matt Randall, who works at a shop in the shopping centre, said: "I am so saddened to hear about the closure of Poundland.
"It always was a busy shop and given the current financial climate, people need to save as much money as possible and this was a perfect place to do so".
Shopper Gina Nall said on Facebook: “I will miss Poundland. I often pop in there for bits.
"What a shame, as it's a well used shop.”
Another customer, Dot Jeffcott, said: “I can’t easily get to Junction One and Elliott’s Field is also a rather long run of shops for me to manage. So where am I supposed to go to do my shopping?
"And having mobility issues how am I supposed to get across the roads? Taxi fares will make shopping trips prohibitive.”
We have made numerous attempts to contact Poundland for a statement.
