A MAJOR bargain chain with over 850 branches has abruptly closed one of its branches and shoppers are gutted.
Poundland has branches across the country including in major cities like London , Nottingham and Sheffield .
But shoppers in Gateshead in Tyne and Wear will now need to find an alternative shop as the chain closed its store in The Interchange Centre, West Street on June 17.
One Facebook user said: ⁘I was lost going to Gateshead. The first place I go is Poundland Interchange.
⁘I'm absolutely lost without it. Going to miss the staff. So glad I saw few of them before they closed.⁘
Another wrote: ⁘It's absolutely heartbreaking for this store to be closing down - all the staff there are absolutely amazing.⁘
A spokesman for Poundland said shoppers will still be able to visit Poundland's nearby branch in Trinity Square instead.
The decision to close the store comes just seven months after the retailer took over the site from Wilko after it collapsed into administration.
It quickly turned around the ex- Wilko premises and opened the majority of them up under the Poundland name before Christmas .
