Broughton Primark set to reopen on Friday

All non-essential shops Wales have been given the green light to open this week ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

On March 23 Wales’ first minister Mark Drakeford said all high street shops, except those selling food, pharmacies, banks and post offices are to close due to the spread of coronavirus. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Many stores at Broughton Retail Park reopened on Monday but Primark remained closed as the clothes chain worked through plans for Covid safe operating in Wales. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Primark has now said it will open all its stores in Wales on 26 June, with extensive measures in place to help safeguard employees and customers. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

It has released a store walkthrough video showing what measures have been put in place.  ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Primark CEO, Paul Marchant, said: ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“We have really missed our customers in Wales, and we are delighted to be back open, providing customers with the quality, affordable products they love from Primark. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

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. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

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. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Our products will be sold at our normal, great value prices which means there will be no sales or special offers when we re-open our doors. ” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
