  wo Poundland stores are set to open in Altrincham and Sale after the sites were bought in the wake of the collapse of Wilko.
  
  The Poundland stores are set to open in Stamford Quarter and Stanley Square this weekend alongside others across the country.
  
  The sites were bought by Pepco Group, in the wake of the collapse of Wilko when it went into administration under PwC over the summer. Pepco Group said it would prioritise the staff for roles in the saved shops.
  
  The Poundlands started to open on September 30 with those in Altrincham and Sale, as well as others across the country, taking the total to make the switch to more than 30.

  This is very strange as Poundland have acquired 71 former Wilko stores and are assessing which ones to keep in the long term. I also just recently read Store closing news here that Poundland have closed stores in Eccles and Salford citing profitability issues and the excessive size of some stores. The Stanley Square store falls into the latter category; its large size has had a negative impact on sales per square foot and overall profitability and they have struggled to fully utilise the space.
