The announcement will bring Primark’s total investment to more than £100m in its UK stores in 2024, building on investment plans revealed last November.

The retailer is set to open new stores in Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, Teesside Park in Stockton-on-Tees and Glasgow Fort retail park this year, with openings in Epsom, Surrey, and Newbury, Berkshire, planned for 2025.
