The Roosevelt Field Mall store opened this week within a 44,290 sq ft space, while the Jamaica Avenue store, which opens on 1 December, “is positioned to help revitalise a hot spot for retail”.

The new City Point store also opens in December within a recently constructed complex that will have frontage onto Fulton Street, “giving Primark prime access to Brooklyn's principal retail high street as well as easy access from Manhattan”.

This brings Primark's presence in the New York City region to five stores. In addition, its said it has signed a new lease for a store at Queens Center in Queens.

Kevin Tulip, President, Primark US, said: “We're excited for the future in New York, as our current stores have shown the important role we can play in the region as an affordable and inclusive retailer, bringing back the allure of brick-and-mortar.”
