Primark sells everything from baby and kids clothes to women and men’s apparel, homewares, accessories, beauty products, and confectionery. 

Its first store in Dublin in 1969 was opened under the name Penneys and today operates in over 350 stores in eleven countries across Europe and America.

In 2016, Primark opened a distribution center in Bor, near Tachov, which led to whispers that the brand could be opening a retail location in the Czech Republic.

Update:according to iDnes.cz, the new Primark store should be located on Wenceslas Square in the new Flower House building, which is currently under construction.
