Primark to reopen 153 stores in England by June 15
The clothing store shut all of its 189 UK stores on March 22 after the Government ordered all non-essential shops to close.
But now they have been given the go-ahead to reopen in mid-June, as long as they're COVID-19 "secure". Primark, which was shut for 12 weeks, said the lockdown has caused a loss of around £650million worth of sales a month. Credit Suisse estimates Primark's like-for-like sales will fall by 77 per cent in the current quarter, before easing to 27 per cent in the next and 13 per cent in the following quarter.More to follow...is your go to destination for the best celebrity news, football news, real-life stories, jaw-dropping pictures and must-see video.
