LONDON (Reuters) - European discounter Pepco Group said on Thursday it was evaluating all strategic options to separate its struggling 825-store Poundland business in Britain this year, including a potential sale.

In a statement ahead of a Capital Markets Day, the Warsaw-listed group, which also owns the Pepco and Dealz brands, said it would focus on the Pepco brand "as the single future format and engine driver of group earnings."
