Nice to see an Irish company going so international.
Associated British Foods (ABF), a British company, own most of Primark. Their international headquarters are in Dublin though.
You could say the same about many Irish brands. Aer Lingus and Guinness for example, hardly Irish anymore but still synonymous with Ireland.
Founded in Dublin 1965 by Galen Weston. Married Dublin model Hilary Frayne (a recent Governor of Ontario). Irish story through and through.
ABF are owned by a family trust, namely the Weston’s whose matriarch is a Dublin lady and the Ryan’s from West Cork, food, hotels, shops….Dublin is the main holding company location. Shares are for obvious reasons traded on the LSE.
A ribbon to cut and no sign of Enda… He’s slipping lads…he’s f$%king slipping.
Hi love your top! 4 Euro Penneys!!!!
They’ve got a whole lot of things for Christmas. And, I believe, a lot for the family.
Might just pop in for a few bits.
straight outa Cedarwood!
Someone better tell them not to put anything in the dryer ! or bye bye tshirt
wish they had a decent shopping website…. hate going in the stores…. clothes always scattered everywhere, usually the floor!
Nothing like cheap, throwaway clothes. Don’t people who wear the same clothes more than thrice look so dirty and poor? Just like the sweatshop workers who slave so I can have the #LatestFashions
Well I’m delighted Primark has made its way to the U.S. I bought plenty of things from penny’s that has lasted years and I’ve also bought expensive stuff that has gone to sh!te after a couple of wears.
you must be rich
Well said BevinArmageddon ! lurach, what a prat
Jasus Bevin thats gas, I had exact the same experience. Bought a pair of those MC Hammer trousers and before I knew it they were in shyte. But funny enough a pair of slip on’s with tassels I bought in 1987 are like new. I only wear them to funerals mind.
I bought a pair of jeans form Penneys for 6€ that lasted me almost three years of constant wear. They still looked new. I also had a very expensive brand pair that barely lasted 6 months. I still regret not going back and buying three more pairs. Still would’ve been cheaper and I’d still be wearing them now!
Did they steal Clery’s clock?
Open a Carroll’s gifts there next
COME TO SYDNEY!!!!!
More power to them but lets hope they don’t start putting shamrocks on their windows
Penny’s looks really cool inside. Much prefer the Zara store on Newbury street though.
Why didn’t the ethical clothing company ever catch on?
Come on the Ryan’s of West Cork
have your say
