Yesterday, Boris Johnson announced that Primark will be allowed to reopen all of its stores in England from April 12.
But Primark will not operate as we know it when it reopens its doors on Monday.
Primark plans to offer extended opening hours across almost every store in England and Wales to help reduce queues, spread demand and give customers more time to shop safely.
For the first week initially, stores will open for two extra hours per day on average, typically an hour earlier and later. Times will vary by store so customers should check their local opening hours here – these will be updated from this afternoon (Tuesday 6April).
Safety remains Primark’s number one priority so employees and customers can return to stores with confidence, maintaining the high safety standards in place in stores over the past year.
Primark CEO, Paul Marchant, said: "It’s great to be back. Our stores are fully stocked with fresh new season fashion, all at Primark’s famous amazing prices. Between our great value, everyday must-haves and hot new season trend collections, we’ve got everything our customers have been waiting for.
"Safety remains at the front of our minds. We have extended opening hours across almost all of our stores to help meet demand safely but we’re also asking our customers to keep up the support and spirit they showed last year, particularly if queuing outside or in-store."
