Poundstretcher
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Poundstretcher is a British chain of discount stores.
Established in 1981 by Paul Appell and Stephen Fearnley, it is now a subsidiary of the Brown & Jackson Group.
As of 2004 the chain has over 338 shops throughout the United Kingdom. Its slogan is "Better than Ever".
After selling Poundsretcher to Lord Philip Harris, Mr. Appell and Mr. Fearnley became involved in a failing retail business, United News Shops, which they managed to revitalise. It is now the largest convenience store and cafeteria business servicing British hospitals.
By 2007, all the Poundstretcher stores will undergo major rebranding to '...instore' as part of the change of ownership from Brown & Jackson plc.
