Primark plans new store openings

Tue, 23 Feb 2010

Discount clothes retailer Primark has announced that it is to create new retail jobs in Spain and the UK with the opening of new stores.

In a pre-close period trading update, the firm’s parent company, Associated British Foods, said that it expects to open six stores in the second half of the year, three in Spain and three in the UK in Chester, Bury and Blackburn. 

The firm added that it has recently agreed to acquire 10 Bhs stores which, once refitted, will open progressively during the next financial year adding some 300,000 sq ft of selling space.

    I think it would be a great if a store would open in Bellshill Lanarkshire. there is a vacant Woolworth store on the Main Street which would be a prime location for a much needed clothes shop.

    I keep hearing rumours that Primark are taking over the old Woolworth store in Cwmbran, South Wales. Can anyway tell me if this is true, and if so, when it's going to happen??
