Poundworld

Poundworld is a UK based discount retailer, predominately based in the North of England. I has over 200 stores across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is still family owned.

The company originates from 1964, with founder Chris Edwards starting a market stall in Wakefield called "Chris's Discounts". From here it expanded to one retail store in 1974. Then several more, before being renamed "Everything's £1" in 1997. The "Poundworld" moniker arrived in 2004.
