The budget outlets have been closed, but job losses have been kept to a minimum as most staff are set to be transferred to Poundland.

The 99p Store locations axed were deemed unprofitable by the parent company, according to Retail Week.

Poundland bought its rival just two years ago and planned to convert 250 of its stores, but reportedly struggled with the acquistion.

Now almost a quarter of the original 99p Stores have been closed for good.
