Primark welcomes customers back to its 161 stores in England and Wales

Primark is welcoming customers back to its 161 stores in England and Wales today, as consumers make a much-anticipated return to the high street. Stores are fully stocked with fresh new Spring/Summer ranges, from new season trends to great value everyday essentials and all at the amazing prices that customers know and love.

Safety remains Primark’s number one priority so employees and customers can return to stores with confidence, maintaining the high safety standards in place in stores over the past year. Primark will have extended store opening hours this week initially, with stores opening for two hours extra per day on average. This will help reduce queues, spread demand and give customers more time to shop safely. Customers should check their local store opening hours on our website here.

Primark CEO, Paul Marchant, said: “We are thrilled to open our doors today and welcome customers back to Primark. We have been working really hard to get our stores ready to open safely; we are fully stocked with everything our customers have been waiting for, from fresh new season fashion to our great value, everyday must-haves, all at our amazing prices.

Safety is our top priority for re-opening, and we ask our customers to continue supporting us and be mindful of our in-store measures, in particular if queuing outside and in-store. We are expecting a busy few days and have increased opening hours across our stores for the first week initially, to reduce queues and help meet demand safely.”
