Primark's first home store has now officially opened in Manchester - here's the details

Set over two floors and nearly 12,000 sq ft, the store offers a treasure trove of interiors inspiration, whether you’re on the hunt for plush bedding, cosy throws, decorative touches or must-have storage solutions. There’s also a mezzanine floor with Primark’s popular travel offering, stocked with everything you need for your next getaway - from stylish luggage to packing cubes and travel-friendly accessories.

Shoppers who were the first through the doors were greeted by a live DJ, bringing the party atmosphere, and were among the first to try out the new shopping experience. The retailer’s existing Trafford Palazzo store has also had a makeover, with an expanded womenswear offering, upgraded fixtures across the Health & Beauty department and a brand-new Nails beauty studio.

Its flagship Manchester Market Street store is also set to unveil a fresh new look next month, including a new performance wear area, a makeover of its RAWR beauty studio and a pre-loved section.

Ceara Doyle, Store Manager at Primark Trafford Palazzo said: “The buzz and excitement around this new opening has been incredible and finally getting to welcome our first customers through the door this morning was a real moment to remember. That amazing moment was only possible because of our brilliant team who have been working behind the scenes to bring the store to life – from fitting out the space, right down to the final cushion fluffs this morning. The new store truly is a dream for interiors fans, and we can’t wait for people across Greater Manchester to come and explore the extensive range, be inspired by the great style on offer, and find quality, affordable pieces to treasure in their homes, now and for years to come.”

Leandra Dwyer, Asset Manager at Peel Retail & Leisure said: “Trafford Palazzo is fast establishing itself as the UK’s leading destination for new flagship retail and leisure concepts. The launch of Great Britain’s first standalone Primark Home store at Trafford Palazzo is a fantastic example of how Peel Retail & Leisure partners with major brands to create vibrant spaces where retail and leisure thrive and where consumers want to be. We are looking forward to seeing the progression of this exciting new store evolve.”

The new opening comes as Primark's home collection starts with warm harvest themed decor, key icons of foxes and hedgehogs, autumnal florals and soft neutral layering.
