It's the 'employees' that usually lose out when it comes to middlemen companies like this. Sure, they may invest a lot of money in marketing, but they're getting income from both the seller of the food/product and the delivery side. I'm sure if their margins are hit, they can just squeeze everyone a bit more.

Poundland shops parent (Polish company PEPCO), have sold the business for nominal £1 to American Investment firm Gordon Brothers.

These sort of offloading /restructuring of loss making businesses usually lead to parts being closed, therefore quite likely some of the shops will close.

If I had my way I'd make Private Equity operations like the ones that have taken over ASDA, Morrisons, Water Companies, now Poundland, etc., illegal. They make leeches look like blood donors.

I’m wondering how much longer companies such as Just Eat can keep going, since they seem to have become very expensive and many outlets are producing their own websites now to cut them out and save on commission, and offer a minor discount on their own website.

Most outlets seem to outsource deliveries to these companies even when they run their own website.

They have stated that 100 of the remaining 825 shops will close.
