Primark to open first store in Texas next month
Primark is to open its first store in Texas next month as it continues its US expansion.
Spanning 37,000 square feet, the shop at La Plaza in McAllen means the fashion retailer will have 29 US stores across 12 states.
In addition, the retailer has signed further leases in the state for new shops in North East Mall in Hurst and Willowbrook Mall in Houston.
Primark has previously announced that it is planning to launch new sites at Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso and Katy Mills in Houston, which means it will have five Texas locations.
Kevin Tulip, president of Primark US, said: “As one of the fastest growing states in the country, Texas represents an exciting growth opportunity for Primark as we continue our expansion across the country.
“We are extremely excited for our first Texas opening on December 12th and in preparation, we’re building our La Plaza team and getting ready to welcome shoppers to experience the joy that our unique combination of quality products at affordable prices brings to families, just in time for the holidays.”
In August Primark launched its first brand campaign in the US and it works towards a total of 60 stores in the country.
