The Primark store at Buttercrane Shopping Centre in Newry is to get a refit as part of a £100m investment by the company in 2024.
As well as refits Primark plan to open several new UK stores. Primark stores can now be found in 16 countries and employs over 30,000 people at its 192 stores throughout the UK.
Primark is one of the most popular stores at Buttercrane and plans will see upgrading to décor and store fixtures as well as the continued rollout of LED lighting, part of Primark’s progress towards its commitment to halve its carbon footprint by 2030.
Speaking about the plans Kari Rodgers, UK Retail Director at Primark said: “We’ve changed a lot in the fifty years since we opened the doors on our first store in Great Britain in Derby back in 1974, but at our heart, we are still the same. We’re as committed as ever to offering the very best value on the high street and making great fashion more affordable and accessible for everyone. This latest investment will mean bigger and better stores, hundreds of new jobs across the country and shows our ongoing commitment to the UK high street.”
