where was the first primark store in england
Primark Success in Ireland led to expansion to the United Kingdom, and Penneys opened a large store in Belfast City Centre in 1971 and one in Derby, England, in 1973.[10] The company could not use the name "Penneys" in Europe outside Ireland because J. C. Penney had the name registered.[11] The name "Primark" was then invented to use outside Ireland.[4]
Marks & Spencer M&S have 959 stores throughout the UK, as well as many international stores; 58 stores in India, 48 stores in Turkey, 37 in Russia, 27 in Greece, 17 in Ireland, 14 in France, 11 in Poland, 6 in Hungary and Finland and 5 in Spain.
