London, 2017-Nov-03 — /EPR Retail News/ — Iceland will continue to accept payments in old “round pound” coins at all its Iceland and The Food Warehouse stores in the UK until 31 December 2017, extending its previously announced deadline of 31 October.
Iceland Group Managing Director Tarsem Dhaliwal said: “We try to help our customers in any way we can, and the statistics tell us that very many people must still have old pound coins stashed away in their homes or cars. So we are happy to save them the trouble of changing these old coins at a bank by allowing them to spend round pounds in our stores until the end of the year.
“We offer a truly amazing range of products for just £1, from deep pan pizzas, ready meals and frozen vegetables to groceries and fresh produce. Or you can save the money on your Iceland Bonus Card and we will add £1 for every £20 you save – probably the best rate of return you will find on the high street. So if you find a hoard of old pound coins down the sofa or in a piggy bank before the end of 2017 you know what to do – come and spend them in Iceland!”
