POUNDSTRETCHER POPS UP IN WOOD GREEN

Discount giant Poundstretcher has taken a short-term lease of a store in Wood Green, north London, on the proposed route of the new HS2 rail line.

It negotiated a lease of just two years on the retail unit at 26 High Road at a rent of £140,000 per annum.

Main construction work is due to start later this year on the high-speed rail route between London and Birmingham.

HRH Retail advised the landlord Lazari Developments.
