Value fashion retailer Primark continues to expand, announcing new leases at Potomac Mills in Woodbridge, Virginia; the Mall at Prince George’s in Hyattsville, Maryland; CoolSprings Galleria in Franklin, Tennessee and Katy Mills in Katy, Texas.
The company also opened a new distribution center in Jacksonville, Florida. The distribution center, which comprises over 550,000 square feet of warehouse space in North Jacksonville, will serve Primark’s expansion in the US with a focus on Southern states including Florida, Texas, and more.
Totaling more than 128,000 square feet of retail selling space, the new stores will bring Primark’s signature combination of the latest fashion trends and essentials for the whole family, as well as homewares and beauty, at the affordable prices American shoppers are seeking out, to more communities and an entire new state with the addition of Tennessee. These new stores will be serviced by the Jacksonville distribution center and Primark’s existing distribution center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
“We’ve seen growing demand for Primark stores across the U.S., particularly in our southern locations where we’ve even expanded our store footprint in our Sawgrass Mills store to meet customer demand,” said Kevin Tulip, president of Primark U.S. “The opening of this distribution center in Jacksonville comes at the perfect time for the brand and our customers as we set our sights on continued growth across the US, including in Florida, Texas, as well as our first store in Tennessee, which we announced today. We’re thrilled to continue to bring ‘Primania’ to new customers with our expansion.”
With the Jacksonville distribution center supporting this growth, the retailer is now more poised than ever to expand in the Sunshine State with new store plans in Orlando and more to come.
Since 2013, Primark has doubled its global warehouse capacity. This is Primark’s second distribution center in the U.S. Primark currently operates in 24 stores in the U.S., across nine states and has plans to reach 60 stores in the U.S. by 2026.
