Primark is set to reopen its Edinburgh branches from next month as Scotland's lockdown restrictions begin to ease.
The budget clothing giant has kept shops closed across the country since stay at home lockdown restrictions were imposed on Boxing Day last year.
Now, right in time for a new summer wardrobe (or for replacements of all those joggers you wore out working from home), Primark will start welcoming customers back in store from April 26.
The firm is expected to reopen all of its branches in Scotland alongside all other non-essential retailers from that date under the Scottish Government’s timetable out of lockdown.
It will be welcome news for fans of the retail chain, which does not have its own website to purchase items online unlike its competitors.
Edinburgh has two Primark stores - one in Fort Kinnaird and one on Princes Street.
A spokesperson for the retailer told the Daily Record : “We are really looking forward to welcoming customers back to our stores in Scotland on the provisional re-opening date of April 26.
“We know out customers will love our amazing new Spring/Summer ranges, including bright leisurewear in spring pastels, as well as some exciting new collaborations with Disney and Pineapple, which will all be in-store when we re-open.
“As always, safety remains our top priority and we will continue to have extensive safety measures in place to help ensure that our employees and customers can return to Primark with confidence.”
It is hoped that Scotland will be able to move to ‘at least' the lowest form of restrictions by the end of June this year.
