Poundworld to open at Shrewsbury retail park
Thursday 3rd November 2011, 10:59AM GMT.
A new bargain store will open its doors in Shrewsbury tomorrow, creating 30 jobs. Poundworld will officially open its doors to the public on Meole Brace Retail Park.
The store, which has taken over the unit which previously housed the Harvey’s furniture firm, will have more than 5,000 products on offer, including household essentials, textiles, toiletries and groceries.
Martyn Birks, marketing director at Poundworld, said: “Shrewsbury is a fantastic town, and so we look forward to opening our first store here.
“Poundworld aims to offer the best possible deals for one low price and so we hope it will prove a big hit with savvy shoppers in the town, who like the rest of the UK are seeking better value and bigger savings to combat the rising cost of everyday living.”

Save pounds on your shopping and do several pounds worth of damage to your car on the ridiculously high speed humps in Meole Brace retail park.

Careful of the humps. I did a couple of hundred pounds of damage to my car on Keele University humps when I was late for work. Also, they are lethal when it’s icy.

Try going slower.

I agree with John about the speed ramps,the whole car park system up there is a shambles,i always avoid the place when its busy,ramps,mini islands,and only one entry/exit is bound to be chaotic.

Worse than pounds. I did £200 damage to my car on Keele Uni ramps when I was late for work. Take care

Why do people from Telford have such a inferiority complex about things Shrewsbury,i dont have a superiority complex about things Telford,both towns are far from perfect and both have a lot to offer.
