    Advantages Advantages extremely cheap clothes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages messy at times, busy

    Whether you call it Pr-ee-mark or Pr-eye-mark, everyone has bought something there or at least even heard of Primark. I visit my local store at least 2 or 3 times a week to see the new stock they have in. They take all my hard earned cash off me  Primark History Originally an Irish store, Primark is owned by ABF (Associated British Foods) Plc and is a large retail group now employing over 10,000 people. Primark operates over 120 stores in the UK and in Ireland (where it is called Penney's) The largest Primark Branch is in Manchester, in Northwest England, having 100,000 square feet of ... more

    Advantages Advantages Sells every item of clothing possible

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Busy at peak times

    Clothes shopping is never an easy task when you have kids in tow. It doesn’t matter if they’re toddlers, young or teenagers, they are still a pain in the proverbial backside when you’re trying to look round the shops and I can guarantee that my teenage son will be moaning and groaning within half an hour when we go shopping. Back in the Summer we decided to brave the busy Ipswich shopping centre, the prime motive to get the kids kitted out for the new school term. After we’d paid the perfunctory visit to the school clothing department in Debenhams we set off down the street to have a wander ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, good quality clothes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages When its gone, its gone...

    Primark has advanced a lot over the years. Two or three years ago I shoped at Primark, but friends from school were givin me the "ohh not there" kinda look when Id wear a primark top. One friend worked there, so she pretty much knew anything from Primark, so there was no hiding the fact that I'd been shopping there. Still I didn't care, it was a cheap shop and I got good value for money, so I went back time and time again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TIMES ARE CHANGING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ah ha....BUT now the tables have turned, it's not just me that's caught the Primark bug, lots of my friends who ... more

    Advantages Advantages So so cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Disorganisd chaos!!!

    Primark's motto is, "Uptown Clothes Downright Prices" and that is exactly what it is! It takes bargain hunting to its extreme. In fact searching for bargains in a Primark store is less of a hunt and more of a collection! Primark sells every single clothes item imaginable in a wide variety of styles and colours and all at unbeatably low prices! Honestly, I don't know how they are making a profit their prices really are that cheap! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Where to find them: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are 115 Primark stores across the UK and Ireland. Stores in the Republic of Ireland are known by the name ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages My credit card bill liked it there.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's a shop, so I didn't.

    Do you like shopping? I don't. Shops are busy, horribly lit, claustrophobic, and they give me a headache. With the possible exception of bookshops, I'm just not interested. I'm not that big on clothes either, especially if I'm expected to choose them. I know my size in jeans and I really can't see why that isn't enough, for me and for everyone else. However, a couple of times a year I find myself forced to venture into towns with high streets and malls (what a horrible word that is) containing those dreaded things called shops in a quest for "proper" clothes to wear to work. Eurgh. Just such ... more

    4 Stars Cheap as Chips 20/01/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Very cheap, reasonable quality, decent range

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can get very busy, You will almost certainly have to queue, harsh decor

    Did I ever tell you I was cheap? I mean really cheap, mostly when it comes to things that are a chore, such as work clothes. While I will happily spend £40 on a casual t-shirt or a pair of jeans I refuse to spend a small fortune on work clothes, they are a chore. So a few months ago I happen to come across an opinion on a shop I’d never heard about, Primark, it seemed like my kind of shop, simple and cheap. Imagine how chuffed I was to be able to test this out when the opened a store in Birmingham in December. The Shop ^^^^^^^^^ It’s a very plain affair, white décor bathed in harsh white neon ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap stylish clothes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You have to fight for it!

    There is only one shop in the world that lures me in as soon as I see the sign, or indeed makes me run round looking for it as soon as I see someone with a bag and that's Primark. As soon as I enter through the door I am filled with a sense of happiness combined with a sort of annoyance, I guess you could sort of say I have a bit of a love hater relationship with Primark, and this is why: I LOVE Primark!: Primark is the one shop in the world where I can not feel guilty about buying myself a new pair of jeans. Where I can buy myself a top for £3 and not have to be embarrassed about the bag it ... more

    Advantages Advantages Ridiculously cheap prices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Messy shop, long queues, unhelpful assistants

    This review is on the Primark store in Manchester City Centre (which is actually quite a posh store compared to some of the others I have been to). The Primark philosophy appears to be pile it high and sell it cheap. They sell their own brand clothing and accessories for women, men and children plus a small amount of household goods, bedding, towels etc (not electricals). ***The Store*** The Manchester store is located on the old Lewis' building right in the heart of the shopping district at the top of Market Street. The shop is split onto two levels (womens and mens on the ground floor ... more
