Primark to open new stores in Maryland, Virginia — here's where
Primark is continuing to expand its presence on the East Coast.
The global value fashion and home retailer will open its second store in Maryland at the Mall at Prince George's in Hyattsville, on May 14. The company also signed a lease with plans to open its third store in Virginia at Fashion Centre at Pentagon City in Arlington. Both locations are only miles outside of Washington, D.C. Primark currently has stores in Woodbridge and McLean, Va., and in Hanover, Md.
Primark’s Mall at Prince George's store will span more than 30,000 sq. ft., and feature apparel, accessories, beauty products, home goods and more. Shoppers will also be able to find gear from their favorite local sports teams, including the Baltimore Ravens and Washington Commanders.
The planned Virginia and Maryland openings come as Primark plans to open a 54,000-sq.-ft. flagship in Manhattan on May 8, marking its 40th location in the United States, as well as the retailer's fifth opening in Texas, at North East Mall in the Dallas/Forth Worth suburb of Hurst.

"Primark and the DMV just make sense," said Kevin Tulip, president of Primark U.S. "We've seen the demand for quality fashion that doesn't break the bank at our stores in Maryland and Virginia, and we're thrilled to reach more area shoppers than ever before with our opening in Hyattsville this May and with the intent to open in Arlington soon thereafter. Both just minutes from the nation's capital, we're also excited to provide those in D.C. with even closer proximity to our amazing quality and prices."
For the grand opening of the Mall of Prince George’s store, Primark will be kicking off celebrations on May 14 with a ribbon cutting, live music, giveaways and more.
