Primark is planning to continue its seemingly unstoppable rise – announcing that on the back of strong sales it’s planning to open another 18 stores this year.
The fast-fashion chain said it had a “particularly good” November and December, seeing sales rise 4% on last year driven by a “strong contribution” from it’s new shops.
As such, expansion will continue.
“This sales growth was due almost entirely to the increase in selling space,” the chain’s owner, Associated British Foods, said in a statement.
“We now expect to add a net 0.9 million square feet of additional selling space in this financial year,” it added.
” We expect to open 373 new stores together with a number of relocations. ”
