Foxtons on Lordship Lane soon to become a Poundland Local

[tomskip]

Do we know when it opens?

[ianr]

I can see the promo video now. People emerging form the side streets off LL, singly or in twos and threes at first , making the odd excited chirp, then merging into columns as they move along LL, their stridulations mounting to a frenzy as they reach Poundland's door.

Will it follow the style of the new "golden arches" promo and use the music by yello "oh yeah"

[ken78]

well any one been in the shop yet ?

[Pugwash]

When I past the shop yesterday - the doors were open and could see the workmen/women installing shelves etc. Still very much a shell.

[kbabes]

Any reports from poundland? I think they’ve played a blinder.. it’ll become trendy & de rigueur knowing ED 😂

[Nigello]

The window coverings give a lot of (obviously, pro-Poundland) info, including that prices will not be higher than in their larger shops and various statements on the company’s environmental and charity credentials. I think the big bosses are well aware of the brickbats thrown at the firm and so are striking back.

Saw today across front of shop

“Reverse gentrification ? ‘

Could east dulwich get anymore cringe

[thfc2001]

Was told by a workman there that they are opening on 18 March

I assumed you meant this was graffiti, which would have been pretty cringeworthy, but in fact it's Poundland's own publicity material, which is immensely cringeworthy.

[Bic Basher]

Now officially confirmed that ED Poundland will open on the 18th.

just can't wait i bet it's going to be busy just think all the people of dulwich won't have to go to peckham or camberwell to the pound shop, but you can buy on line now

[Penguin68]

Interestingly, as Poundland is opening stores (but ours is the only one opening in London), Iceland is closing more. Which suggests they may not be addressing the same demographic, or with the same business model.

[Jules-and-Boo]

Fancy!

We can buy online and avoid being seen in Poundland :-)

Can we please have a new thread- Famous People in Poundland....

should be far more interesting than Famous People in Sainsbury's

[CPR Dave]

Can see it now - East Dulwich people shopping in M and S but carrying their groceries home in their Poundland bag for life.

[ken78]

It's going to happen pound shop is not just for Christmas...but will be with us for a long time .. as for iceland I think the the bigger ones are staying like the one in the old kent road and iceland do a lot of online now

[Bic Basher]

There's still two Iceland stores within a couple of minutes drive away, one in Camberwell Road and the other in Walworth Road.

[Guest]

and the newish one since they moved across the road on Rye Lane

[ken78]

And a big one in the old kent Road...a lot better than the small ones

Ok, own up. Who was it that said this quoted in The Sun??

One fumed in an online forum: "How am I expected to push past all those tracksuits while I'm carrying a selection of cheeses from Mons (a local posh cheesemongers) not to mention the quince paste."

"You know, there may be a few scraps outside all of a sudden"

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/21722594/we-dont-want-a-poundland-in-our-posh-neighbourhood/

A classic bit of Sun journalism 🤣

[Ebenezer]

It's quite disheartening to see a Poundland opens in East Dulwich to be honest.

Every time I've been to one of these stores, all they seem to have on offer in term of food are unhealthy snacks, like confectionary, sodas and crisps. really don't see any cause for celebration.

[I hammer]

Do they sell tracksuits?
