Primark's history
PRIMARK first opened in 1969 as Pennies in Dublin, hoping to provide affordable fashion in Ireland.
A Primark store officially opened as Primark in 1974 in Derby.
The retailer now has 193 stores across the UK and 441 stores worldwide with a goal of running 530 stores by the end of 2026.
Showcasing the new range on their TikTok account, staff at the Edinburgh store showed off a £14 neutral checked mini dress, a chunky navy striped cardigan and a grey pleated skirt.
"Grey skirt is a need", gushed one shopper.
The Pleated Tennis Skirt comes in ivory too, and is available in sizes XXS to XL.
And priced at just £8, it's the perfect versatile addition to your wardrobe that will look good in summer with bare legs or tights in autumn.
Primark bosses say they're "taking this stylish mini skirt off the court and into your wardrobes".
