Primark at New Year

Like many shops on the high street, Primark closes early on Christmas Eve.

The chain remains closed on Christmas Day, before reopening under reduced hours on Boxing Day.

Primark then resumes its regular hours until New Year's Day.

Check in-store to see if your local Primark may be operating different hours to the rest of the brand's stores.

Primark's incredible journey

Primark first opened its doors in June 1969 under the name Penneys, before opening up stores across Ireland.

As the brand grew in size, the chain JC Penney objected to the use of the Penneys name.

This forced the Irish brand to rename its England stores Primark.

The name was chosen because "prima" is Italian for "first" and the owner hoped that the brand would make a "mark".

Primark has become one of the most popular shops on the high street and now has 192 stores in the UK, as of December 2024.
