Another 80 Poundworld stores will be closed, resulting in 1,024 job losses, the company's administrators have said.
The latest announcement means that 105 of the company's 335 stores are now earmarked for closure.
Poundworld went into administration last month after failing to cope with rising costs, fewer shoppers and greater competition.
The company's administrators, Deloitte, said talks to sell remaining parts of the business continue.
