Primark opened a new store at Pavilions Shopping Centre, in Uxbridge, on Saturday.

The store was officially opened by The Worshipful the Mayor of Hillingdon, Councillor John Hensley.

Today’s opening brings the number of Primark stores in the UK to 177 and the opening has led to the creation of 156 jobs

The Mayor of Hillingdon, councillor John Hensley, said: "The arrival of Primark in Uxbridge is a welcome development to the centre of Uxbridge – in one of our principle shopping centres. 

"The new store will encourage local people to come to Uxbridge, adding to the vibrancy of our town centre, as well as providing additional employment."

The new store showcases two floors of fashion over 33,900 sq ft of retail space and features the latest trends in women’s, men’s and children’s fashions including footwear, accessories as well as lingerie, beauty and homeware.

The store’s design and layout builds on Primark’s latest contemporary shop fit with 38 fitting rooms, 25 cash desks (including refunds and exchanges), access to free Wifi and two customer “recharge” seating areas for enjoyable and convenient shopping.

Employees in ‘back of house’ enjoy open spaces designed with modern features and comforts such as a ‘Recharge café’ with a fully equipped kitchen area and bright décor.
