Hello to everybody, I'm pleased to be part of this community.
I'm considering stocking with the popular pound land type stocks, but I'm looking for a good supplier that can be trusted and carry consistent stock (if they do that , I don't know??)
Can anybody give me some pointers of what I should be looking for?
In fact can anybody point me to a good pound land supplier??
Many thanks.
Andrew
Hi Andrew,
Welcome to Wholesale Forum :)
Have a look at the following UK pound store items wholesalers:To find many more verified trade suppliers of pound store items from the UK and the rest of the EU, we recommend using the two largest UK online trade directories of verified wholesale suppliers eSources and Wholesale Deals. Both list thousands of verified wholesalers, distributors, manufacturers and drop shippers.

Pound stores make most of their profits by selling high volumes of high margin unbranded products, while drawing in new customers by offering branded and other high value items at near to and even below cost price. Think about toiletries like shampoo and toothpaste. You can source many branded products from wholesale liquidators of surplus, clearance and near expiry date toiletries, at prices good enough to offer them for a pound. Some wholesale liquidators also have a separate "pound shop lines" section like the following UK supplier:You should also consider importing low value items from Chinese manufacturers. Many pound stores have their own products produced by Chinese manufacturers and then import those products by container loads into the UK. Since these products are often small, light weight and low value, the cost per unit of importing them is very low.

Another way of obtaining pound store items is by approaching local wholesalers and manufacturers to save on shipping and import costs. There are many products that offer good profit margins when sold for a pound. Also consider expanding to £2 and £3 items; pound shoppers are looking for value items, and if above a pound.
Also do not expect a regular supply of stock, be prepared to keep looking for items which give you the margin and your customers a real bargain.
There is a lot of competition in the pound store market, stores like poundland, superpound and 99p shops who have the buying power to buy in ship loads make it difficult to establish a new pound shop business in the UK. Make sure your shop location is in an area with low competition and high relevant traffic. Before committing to a long term lease you should consider signing a temporary lease from 6 to 12 months to give you the time to measure business activity.
