PRIMARK has confirmed opening dates for its stores across the North of Ireland stores.
Its branches in Derry’s Newmarket Street, Belfast city centre along and Omagh will open on Thursday, June 18 at 10 am with safety measures in place.
The remaining stores, located in shopping centres in Ballymena, Lisburn, Newry, Newtownabbey, Newtownards, will resume trading on Monday June 22.
They are the latest in a series of non-essential retailers to reopen following the coronavirus lockdown.
Primark stores in the UK saw long queues earlier this week with customers eager to be among the first inside as doors reopened.
Chief executive Paul Marchant said a lot of work has been done to prepare branches to allow people to shop safely.
“While it might take a little longer to get into store, once inside customers will find all their favourite Primark products and plenty of choice as usual,” he said.
“We have worked hard to make sure that clear signage and extra help will be there to guide them through the changes we have made to allow for social distancing.
“We are also asking customers to respect the measures we have put in place to help ensure shopping at Primark is an enjoyable, safe experience for everyone.”
