Last week Primark confirmed its plans to open 18 new stores and one of them will be close to Liverpool.
Initially the retailer would only confirm its new North West store would be opening in March however it has now given a specific date.
The store, which will be located at the Trafford Centre will be opening on Friday, March 20, reports the MEN.
The new store - which will take up 64,800 sq ft of retail space - will be spread across two floors and will be part of the Trafford Centre's £75 million redevelopment of Barton Square.
Primark's expansion isn't limited to the UK, with new stores planned across Europe, including Paris, Rome and Barcelona.
The new openings are planned following a “particularly good” November and December, which saw sales rise by 4% on last year.
In a statement, Primark’s owner Associated British Foods, said: "This sales growth was due almost entirely to the increase in selling space.
"We now expect to add a net 0.9 million square feet of additional selling space in this financial year.
"We expect to open 18 new stores together with a number of relocations."
