Just seen that. He can spot an opportunity if nothing else.

He certainly is an entrepreneur and knows how to spot s potential opportunity.

Can't realistically see a store built there, as, in its current state could be a bit out on a limb, and think trade could be quite poor.

£1 stores are too expensive for Wakefield, make it a 50p shop and the business should go alright.

If you're going to troll, up your game massively. That's some seriously weak sauce, I'm actually embarrassed for you. :oops:

has vowed to make the Poundworld brand "great again".

Was it ever great in the first place?

He's a brave man, that is for sure. British high street retail has been on life support for the last 10 years.

I reckon so aye - he sold a majority share for 150 million quid, and donated over 900k to Marie Curie Cancer Care; so whilst it may not be premium, it was certainly a great business.

Agree with the second statement though - it seems like a strange move to attempt to revive it, given that the retail ship appears to have well and truly sailed.
