Primark, Bristol

Store of the Month:Primark opened a huge new store in Bristol on a site where House of Fraser and former department store group Bentalls both failed to make an impact. No such problem here – the retailer’s second largest store, at just under 100,000 sq ft, has been pulling shoppers in since it started trading with its killer combination of mass-fashion and store design where colour-blocking and show-stopping escalators catch the eye.
