Newton Aycliffe Poundstretcher is under new management and they’re having a MEGA Weekend Event to celebrate. Customers who shop in store on Friday 2nd, Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th of August have a chance to win a £10 shopping voucher EVERY hour. Customers will be randomly selected using the instore radio system.
Andy Atkinson, Poundstretcher’s new CEO, said “under new ownership and new leadership, Poundstretcher is changing fast, whilst 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 I’m pleased we’re helping our customers to save money, and I’m 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.”
The Store Manager of the Newton Aycliffe Poundstretcher said “the pace of change at Poundstretcher under new management has been terrific. Me and my team are passionate about our business and it’s great that customers have been noticing the lower prices and new brands in our store. We’re excited to be celebrating this new chapter with a three-day chance to win a shopping voucher event and look forward to welcoming more customers into our store.”
