About us...
Poundland announced its expansion into the Republic of Ireland in August 2011. Poundland planned a move into Europe and chose the Republic Of Ireland as the first country to benefit from its famous 'amazing value' proposition.
A simple concept
The Dealz retailing concept is simple. We offer a wide range of products, including many well-known and local Irish brands for €1.50. In addition, there are several special promotions at key price points, such as €1 and 2 for €1.50.
The first two stores were opened in Blanchardstown and Portlaoise in September 2011. From there are on, we have continued to open more and more stores. The competitively priced, breadth and depth of range, top brands, and local Irish products have been extremely well received by customers.
Experience, sound systems and customer focus
It is undoubtedly the efficiency of our management systems, a wealth of buying and selling experience, and a flair for recognising the customer's needs, which places the company ahead of other retailers in the sector. It is those same characteristics that guarantee Dealz a major role in the future of modern retailing.
PEP&CO was also nominated in the 2019 Retail Week Awards as Private Label of The Year.
