Poundland in West Ealing has closed after only a few months of taking over the the former Wilko site. Apparently they have been unable to agree unable to agree a long-term lease.

That would seem strange, as that building is relatively new, it replaced the old M&S building.Do they also own the former Woolworths site next door?If so, that would make more sense, a new building covering both sites.

The property is owned by Lidl, and they currently have a planning application in to demolish the store and rebuild a new store with 130 flats above.

Mind you not much is £1 anymore ☹️. I kind of like chocolate by the ton, Some 4 packs are now £1:75, sometimes Iceland is cheaper

That's true but that represents a round trip of half an hour and often the visit was to pick up one item such as a light bulb or a bag of dog food.

It isn’t the end of the world though. A brisk 10 minutes, at the most 15 minutes,there is another in Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre.

I suspect that the landlords will struggle to find a better long-term tenant. West Ealing remains very run down despite all the 'luxury apartments' that have been thrown up in recent years.

How disappointing. It is hard to underestimate how important these discount stores have been for us in reducing our regular expenses. Both Wilko and Poundland provided staples at a low cost which we may now have to pay more for at other retailers - this probably will have a bigger impact that the rise in council tax.
