New Shop !! POWDER !!

Recommended Posts

So as a hairdresser I was sad to see that Sally's salon service closed down on Crystal Palace Road but up to top of Lordship Lane there is a new store called "POWDER".


They sell all salon brands from Redkin to Tigi etc they have skincare and nail art and all the colors you need for professional hair coloring. I thought it would be good to give a good shoutout here as we need shops like this around here.


It's next to sainsburys local higher up on lordship lane (the old post office) check it out !!! It looks very professional and available to all customers

AFAIK the business on CPR that has closed (apparently) was a hairdressing supplies shop, not a hairdresser, so nothing suspicious about the OP (as a hairdresser herself) being a customer of both that place and an apparently similar business that is newly opened.


None of this is of any interest to me obvs, but I can't see why this isn't a bona fide post

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
