World's biggest Primark store opens in Birmingham


The world’s biggest Primark has opened its doors in Birmingham, featuring water fountains, charging points and recycling areas.

About 300 shoppers, some who arrived as early as 6am, queued up to enter the outsize store, which opened up 12 minutes early at 9.48am on Thursday.

The five-floor building features three food venues, including a Disney-themed cafe, a Disney shopping area, beauty studio and a Hogwarts Wizarding World section.

Spanning 160,000 square feet, it is the biggest of the high street retailer’s 365 stores across Europe and the US.

The outlet will also offer customers the opportunity to donate pre-loved clothes and shoes – of any brand – for recycling and a custom lab will print personalised T-shirts and other garments.
