A new Poundland store is coming to Welwyn Garden City after the retailer confirmed they will taking over an empty unit in the town.

Signs confirming the store will be "opening soon" appeared in the window of the former Debenhams store in Stonehills, which has stood empty since the department store closed in 2020.

An opening date for the new store is set to be confirmed by the discount retailer in the coming weeks, with a spokesperson saying: "We hope to have a confirmed opening date sometime in the next couple of weeks and more details of our move into the unit."

The Welwyn Hatfield Times revealed a Poundland store could be on the way to Welwyn Garden City, after a planning application was submitted for external illuminated signage outside the Stonehills unit.
