A BUDGET store in Bournemouth is set to introduce a new product range this weekend.

Poundland in Mallard Road Retail Park will be launching its chilled and frozen food section on Saturday, November 5.

Chiller and freezer cabinets are being installed, and the store will introduce a £2.50 meal deal, with a great selection of sandwiches, snacks, and drinks.

It comes as part of ‘Project Diamond’, which aims to bring new ranges to between 275 and 300 Poundland stores by autumn 2023.

Tim Bettley, Poundland’s commercial director, said: “Our ambition is to offer more value in more places through opening relocating and extending new stores and accelerating the rollout of Project Diamond so that customers can find more of what they need close to home.

“We’re working hard to extend our ranges in new categories such as chilled and frozen food and clothing and to constantly select the items that give customers value for money at a time when they need it the most.”
