Glasgow and Hamilton Primark stores renamed ‘Preemark'

The 'Preemark' signs will remain in place until Sunday, August 24. The takeovers are now on display in the Hamilton and Argyle Street stores. The celebrations are a 'wee nod' to the common Scottish pronunciation of the brand name as "Pr-EE-mark."

Dortmund in advanced talks for £40m Chelsea star after Juventus attempted hijack
Borussia Dortmund are in advanced talks to wrap up a permanent transfer deal for Chelsea's Carney Chukwuemeka, according to reports. Chukwuemeka spent time on loan at Dortmund last season and the German club have long been trying to convince Chelsea into allowing the England youth international to join them in a second temporary switch. But the Blues have consistently rejected Dortmund's loan offers and are only willing to offload Chukwuemeka on a permanent basis. It seems a deal is now edging closer with Fabrizio Romano posting on X that Chelsea and Dortmund are finally in 'advanced talks' over a sale. The update comes after the Daily Mail reported that Italian club Juventus had asked Chelsea about Chukwuemeka in an attempt to hijack the move. Metro's weekly football newsletter: In The Mixer. Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every Friday – sign up, it's an open goal. The outlet adds that Chelsea are holding out for £40m to sell the 21-year-old midfielder this summer – or at least a figure close to that asking price. Earlier this month, French journalist Sebastien Vidal claimed that Chukwuemeka was 'set to join' Dortmund in a £22m deal – but it looks like he could be sold for a higher amount closer to Chelsea's valuation. Dortmund are also set to bring in a second Chelsea player, Aaron Anselmino, on a loan deal which does not include a buy option. It's believed that Chelsea told Dortmund that they could only get Anselminoif they signed Chukwuemeka permanently instead of a loan deal. Anselmino has 'already said yes' to joining Dortmund on loan as Chelsea and Dortmund continue negotiations on a final price for Chukwuemeka. It is said that Chukwuemeka 'strongly wants' a move to Dortmund, where he would link up with fellow England youth international Jobe Bellingham. Chukwuemeka has made a total of 32 appearances for Chelsea since he joined the Blues from Aston Villa in a £20m deal two years ago. But he was deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and now seems destined for a switch to the Westfalenstadion. More Trending Along with Juventus, West Ham and Napoli had also been linked with a move for Chukwuemeka before Dortmund entered advanced talks. Dortmund manager Niko Kovac is a huge fan of Chukwuemeka, who made 17 appearances on loan at the Bundesliga side last season. 'The way he takes the ball and carries it, the way he immediately turns in the direction of play, that is really unique,' Kovac said in February. 'He has very good acceleration and technique. The boy will give us joy, if he stays healthy.'

'It's pronounced Pree-mark' as Hamilton store does fun rebrand to mark half-century
The Hamilton shop, which was the first Primark in Scotland back in 1975, settled the debate over how to say its name during the celebration. Scotland's first Primark store finally settled the debate over how to pronounce the name – with a fun rebrand to mark a half-century on our high streets. Shoppers will hardly believe it when they see how the firm had the final say on one of its biggest brand debates The retailer decided to celebrate 50 years of Primark in Scotland with a 'Preemark' rebrand, which has appeared overnight in all 21 of its stores north of the border. Primark opened its first Scottish store in Hamilton back in 1975 and the full 'Preemark' store takeover is now live there – along with Edinburgh Princes Street and Glasgow's Argyle Street – alongside fun 'Preemark' themed window activations in its remaining 18 Scottish stores up and down the country. Scots can enjoy the retailer's significant milestone in every store until Sunday, August 24. Gavin O'Reilly, area manager for Primark Scotland West and Cumbria, who currently oversees Primark's store in Hamilton, said: 'Our loyal Scottish shoppers have been instrumental to our success over the last 50 years, so we thought it was high time we acknowledged it in true Primark style. 'It's a proud moment for all our stores to be celebrating our milestone together with a fun 'Preemark' nod, which is simply what we know our Scottish shoppers and colleagues are calling us every day anyway!' This all came about after the retailer tried to settle the debate about how to pronounce its brand in an Instagram post that went viral earlier this year. The ongoing speculation ranges from how most people know it, 'Pr-EYE-mark', to 'Pr-AYE-mark' and the favoured Scottish 'Pr-EE-mark'. Today, Primark has 21 stores covering over 755,000 sq. ft of retail space across Scotland's much-loved towns, city centres and retail parks, and employs over 2637 retail colleagues nationally. From day one, Primark was a hit with Scottish shoppers who initially queued up for its 'unbeatable' opening offers in its first store in Hamilton, during the summer of 1975, including women's tweed coats for £9.50, printed crepe blouses for 99p and briefs for 25p. Across menswear, V-neck Shetland sweaters were sold for £2.85, poly-cotton shirts for 99p and socks for 23p. Children's clothing highlights included slacks for 99p, 'car coats' for £1.99 and pinafore dresses for £1.65. Over the years, some of its most popular products in Scotland include velour tracksuits - popular in the early 2000s – as well as a gold sequin dress and Saltire beach towels. Made exclusively for Scottish shoppers, the retailer has produced a line of Scottish pyjamas, Edinburgh-themed t-shirts from £3 and more recently its Scotland Euros t-shirts. From its first and smallest store in Hamilton at just 9300 sq. ft to the largest store on Edinburgh Princes Street, covering 73,900 sq. ft with stunning views of Edinburgh Castle, Primark has continued to grow in size and scale. Its in-store experience has evolved to now feature beauty studios, nail salons and a wide choice of destination cafes – including its popular cafés in Edinburgh and Braehead. Over the past three years, Primark has invested over £20 million in its stores which includes significant upgrades to stores in Clydebank, Hamilton, Stirling and Irvine so far this year. It has also introduced self-service checkouts and its Click & Collect service to all stores in Scotland. Looking ahead, the retailer has confirmed it plans to invest a further £9 million in its Scottish stores over the next two years as it reaffirms its commitment to Scottish retail. Kari Rodgers, UK retail director at Primark, said: 'The high streets and fashions have changed a lot over five decades in Scotland, and Primark has been there every step of the way. As we've evolved to meet this change in demand, our commitment to offering people great quality clothing at affordable prices is stronger than ever. 'There is such pride in our stores in Scotland and our customers feel it too, so it's fantastic to be celebrating such an important milestone together. Over the last three years we've invested more than £20 million in our stores across Scotland and we've a further £9 million planned over the next two years to improve our stores and support the future of Scottish retail.'
