London - Primark opens
PRIMARK MOVES IN ON CENTRAL LONDON, TO OPEN FLAGSHIP IN FORMER ALLDERS OXFORD STREET SITE
UK discount apparel retailer Primark is to open a flagship store on London's Oxford Street, taking over the lease of the former Allders store site that the now-failed department store operator acquired from C&A.
It becomes Primark's first central London store and one of its largest in the country at 100,000sq ft.
The announcement came as Primark's parent company Associated British Foods said the retailer continued to perform strongly in the run-up to Christmas.
Work on the premises, including a modern eight-metre-high glass frontage, is expected to be complete by next September and Primark should open the store early in 2007.
