Primark announces home delivery in Great Britain beginning with new warehouse in Sheffield
‘Nipping into Primark’ may move online in the near future
The owner of Primark has announced plans to launch home delivery in Great Britain - and its first move is a new warehouse in Sheffield.
Associated British Foods (ABF) said it had bought space in Sheffield to support the plans, but did not specify a start date.
It comes as ABF is expected to announce a 2.6 per cent dip in Primark sales over the past financial year, which ends this Saturday.
Primark says sales started strongly in the summer but were impacted by the hot weather, which delayed the transition to buying autumn clothing ranges.
Chief executive George Weston said: “Primark has made significant progress in building its digital capabilities and will continue this through both growing click & collect and by offering home delivery in Great Britain in the future.”
