Primark - The Cheapest Stores Ever

From the first Penneys store in Ireland to the latest flagship store in Liverpool, the Primark story has been one of continuing success founded on a unique combination of fast fashion and lean operations.

The beginning:
In June 1969, the first Penneys store opened in Mary Street, Dublin. Within a year, four more stores were added – all in the Greater Dublin area.
In 1971, the first large store outside Dublin was opened in Cork and by the end of that year there were 11 more stores in Ireland and one in Northern Ireland.

Scope

We aim to make our employees, suppliers and local and wider communities part of our success by working with them in every way we can. This means that:

• Employees have equal opportunities based on merit
• Suppliers are treated fairly
• Local communities are respected and supported by Primark
• The company takes its environmental responsibilities seriously.
