Primark gives Scots shoppers first glimpse of what stores will look like inside under new rules

Retail giant Primark has given Scots shoppers a heads-up on what to expect once its stores reopen.

Doors will reopen in England on Monday morning for the first time in three months.

And it offers a glimpse of what can be expected when stores north of the border follow suit.

The firm has already confirmed shoppers will notice a number of changes in stores.

They include strict social distancing protocol, personal protection for employees and customers, as well as more in-store cleaning.

Now the fashion chain has released first pictures from inside its  Westfield Stratford store in London - so shoppers know what to expect.

Primark's CEO, Paul Marchant, said: "We have really missed our customers and we are delighted to be back on 15 June and able to provide them with the quality, affordable products they love from Primark."

Larger retail stores will be able to open their doors, with physical distancing measures put in place, once Scotland moves into phase three of lifting lockdown.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is expected to announce moving into phase two on Thursday.

Marchant added: "While it might take a little longer to get into store, once inside, customers will find all their favourite Primark products and plenty of choice as usual.

"We have worked hard to make sure that clear signage and extra help will be there to guide them through the changes we have made to allow for social distancing."

Marchant ruled-out any instant sales or special offers when stores reopen with usual prices maintained.

He added: "We are also asking customers to respect the measures we have put in place to help ensure shopping at Primark is an enjoyable, safe experience for everyone."
