Primark reveals click-and-collect trial store locations

Primark has confirmed the locations of the 25 stores which will be the first to offer its click-and-collect services.

The click-and-collect trial, first announced in June, will offering customers the chance to click-and-collect a wide choice of products for kids, spanning everything from clothing and accessories to decorative nursery products and toys, hundreds of which are exclusive to click-and-collect.

Primark said that the service was being introduced to satisfy what it calls “unfulfilled demand,” while driving footfall from both existing and new customers to deliver additional sales in-store.

The 25 locations chosen range from large city centre and out-of-town stores to smaller high street locations across the North West of England, South and West Yorkshire and North Wales, and include Manchester, Liverpool, Blackburn, Carlisle, Sheffield and Wrexham.

Launching before the end of the year, the click-and-collect trial will mark the first time that Primark has allowed customers the option to buy online and collect in-store on a nominated date.

Kari Rodgers, UK retail director at Primark, said in a statement: “We're thrilled that customers across North West England, parts of Yorkshire and North Wales, will soon be the first in the country to get the chance to try out our new Click + Collect offer.

“From launch, they’ll be able to browse and buy from our extensive range of kids clothing and nursery products, from the comfort of their own home, before coming to collect from one of our chosen 25 stores."
