Friday 12th December

Idlewells Shopping Centre is delighted to announce that Poundstretcher, the popular discount retailer, will officially open its doors on Friday 19th December 2025.

The new store, located in Unit 19-21 next to Heron Foods, will be a welcome addition to the centre’s diverse retail mix, offering shoppers thousands of essential goods, household products, groceries, and seasonal items at exceptionally low prices, just in time for the final Christmas rush.

The opening provides residents of Sutton-in-Ashfield with a fantastic new destination for budget-friendly Christmas shopping, home décor, and everyday essentials. The store opening is also expected to create 15 new local full time and part time jobs.

Jason Truscott, Centre Manager commented on the announcement: “We are thrilled to welcome Poundstretcher to Idlewells Shopping Centre. Their arrival on Friday 19th December is perfectly timed to meet the high demand for value-driven shopping during the Christmas period. This opening not only enhances our offering to customers but also reinforces our commitment to bringing popular and essential retailers to our community.

Andy Atkinson, CEO Poundstretcher said “Consumers are still finding things difficult and that’s why we’ve committed to bring Poundstretcher closer to even more customers and ensure they too can benefit from our great quality branded and non-branded products at market-leading prices.”

Poundstretcher offers a wide range of departments including food and drinks, pet care, gardening, electrical items, stationery, and seasonal decorations. The new location aims to become a convenient, one-stop shop for local families looking to save money without compromising on choice.

A grand opening celebration is scheduled for Friday 19th December 19th at 9:00 AM, featuring a special visit from Santa. They will be giving away goody bags to the first 100 customers through the door and there’s also a chance to WIN £100 worth of vouchers to spend in store.
