AN army of Primark fans queued outside branches around the country this week before they close for four weeks in the new lockdown.

Unlike most high street retailers, the budget store does not sell its wares online, leaving millions of us in mourning for the brand’s cheap pants, budget beauty products and low-cost loungewear.

Primark fans queued outside stores before they close during lockdown

Customers took to Twitter, saying: “Primark needs to start delivering”, “Saddest lockdown 2 thing is that I never managed to get these Primark earrings” and “My thoughts are with those who won’t be able to cope without Primark for a month!”

We understand, honestly. But fear not, it IS possible to fill that painful Primark void.
