Hide AdA spokesperson for Poundland told the Evening News: “Sadly we've been unable too secure an agreement with our landlord that would enable us to keep the store trading on Princes Street.
“We know this will be disappointing to customers and we're sorry we'll be closing on 13 October. It goes without saying we'll be doing all we can to look after colleagues that work there.
“We obviously look forward to welcoming customers into our other Edinburgh stores which include Lothian Road, Meadowbank, Cameron Toll and Chesser Avenue.”
