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]
