Poundland & Dealz offers thousands of quality products in store with over 1,000 well-known brands in 17 shopping categories including food and drink, health and beauty, household, gardening, DIY, pet, stationery, books, DVDs and toys. It is on a journey from a single price to a simple price point retailer.

Within the UK Poundland has also rolled out its fashion brand PEP&CO to approximately 300 of its larger stores.
