POUNDLAND has announced the opening date for its largest store in Scotland.
The super-size store is set to open on Saturday, March 11 on Crown Street in the Gorbals.
The shop will be a whopping 18,380 ft, over three times the size of an average Poundland, and will create 45 jobs.
The store is expected to become a tourist destination in its own right with its own brown tourist signage.
The new Poundland will feature the widest range available in any Scottish store, stocking food and drink, home and pet items, entertainment and stationery and will have the most extensive range of toys in any of their shops.
Around a third of the shop will be dedicated to Pep clothing and homeware and there will be changing rooms for customers.
The Pep home department will include the latest 2023 ranges, including new kitchen storage options, bathroom accessories, soft furnishings, faux plans and real house plants.

The Crown Street store will also join the growing number of Poundlands to offer chilled and frozen food, fresh food and vegetables and a selection of beers, wine and spirits.
It will offer a range of small domestic appliances from Russell Hobbs, such as toasters, kettles and irons.
There will be a wider than usual range of health and beauty products including Poundland’s own Make Up Gallery, #6 skincare and brands such as Rimmel and Essence.
Darren Kay, Poundland director of retail, said: "We’re looking forward to opening the largest Poundland in Scotland.
"In fact, some may even say it’s a ‘beezer’ of a store.
"The size of the store means there’s more of our amazing value under one roof across more categories than ever before.
"The first four destination stores of this scale we’ve opened in England have wowed customers and we’re thrilled it’s now time to bring our best offer to Glasgow.
"We can’t wait to open the doors on March 11."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
