Primark to enter new Midwest state; upcoming mall locations include…
Primark continues to enter new markets as part of its ongoing U.S. expansion.
As part of its Midwest expansion, the global value fashion retailer will open at Castleton Square Mall in Indianapolis on July 23. It will be Primark’s first-ever store in the state of Indiana.
The company is also continuing its expansion in Texas, where it will open its seventh location on July 16, at Willowbrook Mall in Houston. (The opening comes on the heels of Primark’s new store at The Parks Mall at Arlington, in Arlington, Texas, and its New York City flagship.)
Primark is known for offering trend-forward fashion looks and everyday essentials at budget prices, Women's denim starts at $12, men's tees at $5, and girl's and boy's sweatshirts at $8. Local shoppers can also find gear from their favorite teams.
The two upcoming stores, both of which will feature nearly 30,000 sq. ft. of selling space, will bring Primark’s total U.S. store count to 44 locations.
"Our continued US ambition is something we're really proud of. I'm as excited about expanding Primark's presence in the Lone Star State as I am at our entry into Indy," said Kevin Tulip, president of Primark US. "We know that Primark's offering of quality fashion at exceptional value is more important than ever to today's consumers, and we're looking forward to opening our doors and welcoming customers in Houston and Indianapolis."
Founded in Ireland in 1969, Primark has more than 485 stores across 19 countries in Europe, the US and the Middle East. In April, Primark owner Associated British Foods said it planned to separate its foods business (FoodCo) from its Primark retail business. The “demerger” is expected to take effect before the end of 2027 Both of the businesses will remain publicly listed and majority owned by the Weston family's Wittington Investments.
Following the split, Eoin Tonge will remain CEO of Primark (after serving as interim chief for nearly a year, he was appointed to the role on a permanent basis in March).
