Poundland has announced plans to open a new store in Welling.
The budget store, where all items cost £1, is set to open at an undisclosed site within the next three months.
Bosses claim the store, which serves 5.5 million customers nationwide each week, will bring numerous jobs to the area.

Poundland’s Trading Director, Richard Lancaster, said: "Poundland has grown significantly over the past 12 months and it’s fantastic to see this expansion continuing with a new store in Welling.
"The nearest Poundland store for customers is currently in Woolwich which is over two miles away, so we wanted to give local residents a more convenient store in their area."
