Primark has once again delivered with their latest footwear find – a pair of Ugg-inspired slippers that are causing a stir on TikTok. These comfy and stylish shoes, available for just £12, are a fraction of the price of their designer counterparts and are already flying off the shelves.
Primark is winning over shoppers with its latest fragrance release, offering six budget-friendly perfumes that are said to be similar to popular designer scents. From a Sol de Janeiro dupe to a Tom Ford alternative, these affordable options have sparked a frenzy among perfume lovers.
An ex-Primark worker has shared some insider secrets on how to get the best deals and avoid buying anything ‘gross.’ Joanna, who claims to have four years of experience on the shop floor, says that the first thing you should do is wash everything you buy as soon as you get home, as clothes on the racks get handled by a lot of people and might not be the freshest. Her other piece of advice is to go shopping on a Friday morning between 9am and 12pm, as fresh stock gets delivered on Thursday nights and hits the shelves overnight. She also claims that you can potentially snag a discount on items with minor imperfections, but it’s more likely to be around 10 percent.
Primark’s newest Paula Echevarria Tiered Prairie Midi Dress is causing quite the stir in the fashion world. The dress, designed in collaboration with Spanish actress and model Paula Echevarria, retails for just £25 and is available in both black and light pink, although the black hue seems to be the crowd favorite. Made from 100% cotton with a 95% cotton, 5% lyocell lining, the dress is designed to be both durable and comfortable while giving the wearer a flattering silhouette. The chic, versatile design is perfect for any occasion, from picnics to special events, and can be dressed up or down depending on the accompanying accessories.
Primark’s latest collection features a stunning two-piece co-ord that embodies the groovy vibes of the 1960s. The set, priced at just £34, consists of a patterned mini skirt and a semi-sheer vest with a tassel hem. Shoppers are raving about the eye-catching details and the vintage-inspired aesthetic.
Primark has maintained its stance against home deliveries, opting to expand its click and collect service across all UK stores. This strategy has proven successful, as the retailer has grown sales, market share, and profitability while other online fashion retailers have faced challenges. Primark’s click and collect model encourages additional in-store purchases and complements its investment in physical locations. Despite rising costs and higher prices in the industry, Primark’s profits have surged, signaling a return to normalcy post-COVID.
Associated British Foods, the owner of Primark, reported a 37% surge in half-year pre-tax profit to £881 million. The growth was driven by store expansions, price increases, and improved business conditions. While consumers face cost-of-living pressures, demand for retail and food businesses remained strong.
Primark has announced the expansion of its click and collect service to all stores in England, Scotland, and Wales. The service, which allows customers to order online and collect their purchases in-store, will be rolled out in a phased manner, with all 184 stores expected to offer the service by the end of 2025. The retailer will also expand the range of products available for click and collect, including women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing, accessories, homeware, and lifestyle items.
Associated British Foods (ABF), the parent company of Primark, has reported strong financial results for the first half of the year, aided by improved supply chains and operational efficiency. Profit rose 37% to £881 million, and the interim dividend increased 46% to 20.7p.
