Primark to expand in Texas — here are the locations
Primark has its sights set on Texas as it expands further into the southern United States.
The global value fashion retailer will open its first store in the Lone Star State on Dec. 12, at La Plaza in McAllen, Texas. The 37,000-sq.-ft. store, which will bring Primark’s U.S. footprint to 29 locations across 12 states, is located in close proximity to Mexico, serving shoppers beyond the States as well.
Primark also announced two new lease signings in Texas, for stores at North East Mall in Hurst, and Willowbrook Mall in Houston. (Primark has already announced that it will open stores at Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso and Katy Mills in Houston.)
Totaling 70,000 sq. ft. of retail selling space, the new stores will offer Primark's signature combination of the latest fashion trends and essentials for the whole family, as well as homewares and beauty items. The brand is known for its budget prices, including everyday essentials such as denim starting at $10 and t-shirts at $4. It also features licensed product at affordable prices, including fan-favorite collections such as Netflix, Disney and Marvel, and sports offerings including from the NFL and NBA.
Primark recently revealed plans to open its first store in Manhattan, in the Herald Square neighborhood.
“As one of the fastest growing states in the country, Texas represents an exciting growth opportunity for Primark as we continue our expansion across the country,” said Kevin Tulip, president of Primark US. “We are extremely excited for our first Texas opening on Dec. 12, and in preparation, we’re building our La Plaza team and getting ready to welcome shoppers to experience the joy that our unique combination of quality products at affordable prices brings to families, just in time for the holidays.”
Primark is an international fashion retailer employing more than 80,000 associates across 17 countries in Europe and the U.S. Founded in Ireland in 1969 under the Penneys brand, Primark operates approximately 450 stores globally.
The company is working to make more sustainable fashion affordable for everyone through its Primark Cares strategy, a multi-year program that focuses on giving clothing a longer life, protecting life on the planet and supporting the livelihoods of the people who make Primark clothes.
As part of this, Primark unveiled a series of commitments it is working to achieve by 2030. These commitments include making all of its clothes from recycled or more sustainably sourced materials by 2030, halving carbon emissions across its value chain and pursuing a living wage for workers in its supply chain.
