A target opening date of the first week of November 2022 has been announced for the store
Businesses located close to Primark in Belfast city centre have said they're happy to see the flagship store's return.
"We've had it pretty rough with the Primark fire and the pandemic," he said. "So we're really looking forward to Primark reopening. It's been four years since the fire, but businesses have been impacted for six years as they built Commonwealth House at the back first. She said over the past few years, the construction work has given the impression Castle Street is closed, with many people calling the shop to ask if they're still open.
"After the fire, I located to Queen's Arcade for a few months but it was like starting from scratch as we weren't able to get into the shop to get stock initially. That was a really difficult time for me, I almost closed up permanently. As time has gone on, business has been steadily picking up, but he hopes the reopening of Primark will give the area a much-needed boost in the run up to Christmas.
