Value fashion retailer Primark was founded in Ireland in 1969 under the name Penneys, a name it still trades under in Ireland. Its business model relies on quality fast fashion at unbeatably low prices. The retailer operates over 450 stores worldwide. It does not operate a transactional website or app, though it does provide a click-and-collect service, setting it apart from other retailers. Retail Week provides news, analysis, features and opinion about Primark and the fashion sector.
