Primark’s owner had this update for shoppers following the success of the retailer’s click-and-collect service in the run-up to Christmas

Primark has issued an update on its website - but many shoppers will no doubt be left disappointed by the news. The owner of the budget clothing retail giant has confirmed it will not be moving online, despite a successful trial of its click-and-collect services in the run-up to Christmas.

George Weston told the Financial Times that Primark “is and always has been a high street retailer”. He added that although the concept of Primark offering home delivery was a “nice hypothesis”, he didn’t believe that Covid had moved shoppers entirely online as the firm’s share market before the pandemic suggested otherwise.
