Primark

The Company Primark originally started out in 1969 as Penneys in Dublin - Ireland. In 1973 they made the move to Britain and the company grew slowly from there. They celebrated their 40th anniversary this year and now have 191 stores worldwide including stores in Spain, Germany and The Netherlands with a further two opening soon in Britain. There has been endless columns about Primarks clothes being so cheap because they are produced in 'sweat shops' abroad. Their website suggests that they are committed to providing the best possible value to customers but not at the expense of the people who make our products. So how do they keep their costs ...  Read the complete review

Cambridge has no Primark yet, opening this Friday at 9am, and it took a abit of getting used too, as I used to a large amount of time in Primark Oxford Street, London. And as much as I enjoy other High Street Stores, Primark is my guilty pleasure of a shop. I always find something I want, and as I'm studying Fashion, I have to go shopping regularly to keep up with trends (Great excuse, right?!). After going to Primark recently, I decided to give my review on the cheapest High Street Store around, the guilty pleasure of Primark. -Primark- Primark is a clothing store, which operates in a range of countries in Europe, such as UK, Spain, ...  Read the complete review

Is primark a good place to shop? well it depends on what your looking for, but to anyone looking for cheap clothes no other shop beats it. it's ideal for penny stretched mum's who just wants to buy baby clothes without going to mothercare and spending £100 because-they'll-grow-out-of-it-in-5-minutes-and-will-puke-on-it-anyway. (NICE...) Althought you'll have to do some groovy pushchair manoovers to get into the place. It's absolutely packed, as soon as you get in there's people shouting bashing into you and the poor sales assistant running around fighting a loosing battle against a clothing avalanche. About the sales assistants... when i go in ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to high street shopping I have no doubt where my clothes are coming Though I personally love Fair Trade shops I honestly can not keep up with their high prices and I just do not have enough money to buy the strictly necessary. If your really think about it unless you buy ethical made clothing you can bet pretty much everything else comes from the exploitation and hard work of other people, this is the truth on how people in UK can afford the high living standard and consumerism fashion. I just don't think is fair to live under the illusion that Top Shop, Clarks, Debenhams is any better because they just have higher prices. This is how the world goes ...  Read the complete review

Primark has been around for many many years and the first version of Primark, known as Penney's (which are still available in Ireland) were opended in Southern Ireland in 1969. 2 years later, 1971, there were 11 more stores and even one in Northern Ireland. Another 2 years later, 1973, the number of stores was up to 18 and more and more Primarks were getting opened in Great Britain. Primark sells so many items, its hard to walk in and not find something! They sell ranges of menswear, womenswear, childrenswear and even home furnishings. I have been to both Penneys and Primark and have to say their range of clothing items is absolutely mind ...  Read the complete review
