Not for long though - They've signed a lease for the old Allders Store opposite the big New Look in Oxford Street.

I don't like Primark. They're really unpopular with designers as they don't employ any. My friend is a TopShop designer and gets really irritated by the fact that Primark buyers go into their Oxford Circus branch, buy loads of stuff and then rip it off. That's one of the reasons they're so cheap - they're not paying for design or development, they are just copying. They also use cheap factories and don't pay them very much.
