Poundland’s Dave Dodd to open new variety chain

Dave Dodd, who founded the retail chain Poundland, said he will open a new chain of mid-market variety shops called The Hub, along the lines of TK Maxx, according to Retail Week.

The trade paper said that the first store will open within the next three months offering hardware, homeware, gadgets, electricals and toys among other products.

Dodd told the paper: “We’re not a new version of Woolies. We’re different to anything else out there. We will offer aspirational products at highly affordable price points.”
