A Poundland store in Barrow is set to close soon with deliveries already stopped.

The announcement was made yesterday (September 6) by a store manager based at the Hindpool Retail Park store in its dedicated Facebook group.

Customers are still being encouraged to shop at the store for their essential items.

The store opened in Barrow around a decade ago.

An exact time hasn't been given but the transition will take place 'in the coming weeks'.

The post read: "I want to take this opportunity to thank every customer who has been part of our story and journey. Your support and engagement have meant the world to us.

"We are dedicated to make a smooth transition for our customers in the coming weeks.

"Our store has all your essential needs right now so please do continue to shop with us so we get to see your friendly faces and talks.

"Unfortunately our deliveries are now stopped so when it’s gone it’s gone."

Poundland will not disappear from Barrow altogether as only the Hindpool Retail Park is set to close. Its branch on Dalton Road will remain open, said the post.

The post went on to thank customers who have been part of the store's journey and also for their donations to the health and social care project Love Barrow Families.

The pilot project works with families in the borough who face multiple and severe disadvantage.

Customers can still donate before the store's closure.

The post added: "I want to take this opportunity to thank our customers for all the donations we have received over these last couple of months on helping us to support Love Barrow Families.

"I do kindly ask that over these next four weeks that you support us in store to get our final donations and make it our last and BEST."
