Mega weekend at Poundstretcher stores in March and Wisbech could make customers a winner

Poundstretcher March and Wisbech celebrates new ownership with a three-day event offering customers the chance to win free Shopping every hour.

Your local Poundstretcher is under new management and they’re having a mega Weekend Event to celebrate.

Customers who shop in the stores on Friday, August 2, Saturday, 3, and Sunday, 4 have a chance to win a £10 shopping voucher every hour. Customers will be randomly selected using the store's instore radio system.

Andy Atkinson, Poundstretcher’s new CEO said: “Under new ownership and new leadership Poundstretcher is changing fast, while we’re just getting started, the feedback from customers on our price cuts and new brands has been great.

“The continued cost of living crisis has been difficult for households up and down the country, so we are pleased we’re helping our customers to save money, and we happy to see more and more of them shopping with us every week. To mark the start of this new journey, we’re giving away tens of thousands of pounds worth of vouchers across the country over one weekend.”

Judy Glass, and Tony Hayfield, store managers of March and Wisbech stores respectively, said: “The pace of change at Poundstretcher under new management has been terrific.

“Our teams are passionate about our business and it’s great that customers have been noticing the lower prices and new brands in our stores. We’re excited to be celebrating this new chapter with a three-day chance to win shopping voucher event and look forward to welcoming more customers into our stores.”
