The new location in Manchester will also include a dedicated travel shop to help customers get holiday-ready. Paul Baldwin, Trading Director for Home at Primark said: 'Our mission is simple: to make it easy for everyone to create a home they love, without breaking the bank. "Customer reaction to our first Primark Home store in Belfast has been really positive, and we can't wait to bring this exciting new concept to Great Britain later this summer. "Homes have become more than just places to live, they're an extension of our personalities, so whether it's soft furnishings, statement tableware, or smart storage solutions you're after, our range has something for every style and budget.' An exact date for the stores opening hasn't been given by the retailer yet but it is expected to come this summer. 'One of each please,' shoppers race to Primark for adorable cosy homewear The new store will stock all manner of high-quality essentials like cotton bedding and towels, soft furnishings, small furniture and quirky ceramics. Trafford Palazzo is already home to one Primark location with the new store adding to the retailers offering on the site. Primark stores usually stock a full range of goods from clothes, to home to holiday essentials. For the first time ever Primark will now stock just homeware in a store. The fashion retailer currently employs over 80,000 people internationally. 2 Primark is known for its budget options and huge range, offering an extensive selection of goods at a low price. The retailer boasts over 460 stores globally with the new Primark Home in Manchester boosting this number further. According to the retailer: " Primark Home combines style, comfort and value to help shoppers make a house a home." Thrilled shoppers took to social media to show their excitement for the new stores launch. One user said: "You've got some great home stuff please make this department bigger and give us trolleys." Another commented: "I need one of everything, and two cushions." A third replied: "We need this store in Kalamazoo Michigan." Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
