Primark expanding Click and Collect service to all stores
Following a successful trial!
Customers of high street retailer Primark have been calling out for years for the popular brand to branch out into online sales, and whilst they did launch a brand new website in 2021, customers were only able to view items.
However, following a successful Click and Collect trial, which took place at 57 stores across the North West of England, Yorkshire, Wales, and parts of London, Primark have now confirmed they will roll-out the service to all 184 stories in England, Scotland and Wales.
Paul Marchant, Chief Executive at Primark, said: "Primark will always be committed to offering the very best value and that's made possible because of our simple and cost-efficient business model centred around our stores.
"Our trial of Click + Collect over the last 18 months has been about understanding how we can offer our customers greater convenience to shop with us wherever they are, but in a way that complements our business and our stores.
"We're now confident that we've found a model that can do both and support us with our plans to grow the business.
"The feedback from our customers has been positive as they really value the convenience our service offers and we're also seeing it's reaching new customers too.
"I am excited to see this expand and give more people more reasons to choose Primark and discover the great value and ranges we have in store."

Check out who owns what brands on the high street:
Burtons and Dorothy Perkins
Online retailer Boohoo have bought both the Dorothy Perkins and Burton brands from Arcadia group. They haven't taken the actual shops though, which will permanently close.
Wallis
Fashion brand Wallis was also part of the ÂŁ25.2 million deal that Boohoo made for parts of the Arcadia group, including Burton and Dorothy Perkins, which mean the Wallis shops will also leave the High Street.
Topshop & Topman
ASOS have bought this part of the failed Arcadia group, paying ÂŁ292 million for brands including Topshop and Topman. The shops themselves were not part of the deal though, so it looks like they will close.
Miss Selfridge
Miss Selfridge was another one of the brands that ASOS bought alongside Topshop, Topman and HIIT and will also mean the shops will close.
Debenhams
Boohoo have also bought the Debenhams in a ÂŁ55 million deal which saw the company's 242-year-old name survive but all 118 stores shut.
Oasis and Warehouse
Boohoo have been expanding for the last few years - in 2020 they bought Oasis and Warehouse's online element for ÂŁ5.25 million as the shops had already closed.
Karen Millen & Coast
Boohoo also bought the brands Karen Millen and Coast in 2019 when it went into administration and stores closed.
