Primark To Reopen Flagship Belfast Store In November

Primark has announced that their flagship Belfast store at the Bank Buildings in the city centre will re-open in November, four years after the city centre building was gutted in a fire.

The clothing retailer has said that the building has undergone extensive rebuilding and restoration work.

It is understood that every effort was made to retain, conserve and restore the historical building.

Making the announcement, Primark executives paid tribute to everyone who had worked on the restoration and "to the people of Belfast for their patience and support".

The current Primark store on Castle Street will be merged with the restored Bank Buildings, while the Fountain House store on Donegall Place will close.
