Poundstretcher, owned by Aziz Tayub has enjoyed rapid expansion, by taking advantage of the gap left on the high street by Poundworld who vacated over 300 stores in August.

The business already has its own infrastructure and integrated facility which can manage a complete end to end supply chain for more than 800 stores and is supported by over 1.2m sq ft of warehouse space.

Poundstretcher is fully supported financially by Aziz and has strong buying power which allows them to get great products at superb prices which makes them one of the cheapest discount retailers. The business is also totally debt free and with a strong asset base, this makes us one of the strongest high street retailers within the sector.

Aziz’s vision is to grow the business rapidly with proper investment in new stores, IT systems, marketing and a state of the art distribution supply chain system. Aziz is also leading the business with a strong management team, which is heavily investing in people.
