Primark continues US expansion with new stores in New York and North Carolina
Primark is continuing its US expansion with the opening of new stores at Smith Haven Mall in Lake Grove, New York, and Concord Mills in Charlotte, North Carolina next month.
Each shop will span over 30,000 square feet and offer shoppers a range of fashion, homewares and beauty products.
The openings will be the retailer’s last two of 2023 and will bring its total number of stores to 436 around the world, including 24 in the US. Primark is currently aiming to have 60 stores operating in the country by 2026, and next year it will be setting its sights on expansion into southern states.
Kevin Tulip, president of Primark US, said: “Primark has been in the US since we opened in Boston in 2015, but when I look back at the past year, I’m incredibly proud of the exponential growth we’ve achieved. This was never about opening as many stores as quickly as possible, it was about opening in the right locations, with the right store layout and product offering, for the communities we are entering.
“We learned a lot in those early years about what sparks “Primania” for US shoppers and we are finding that our value pricing across women’s, men’s, kids, home, and gifts, have kept American families coming back to us time and time again.”
