Primark is based in Ireland, although it's part of Associated British Foods. It trades solely in the UK, Ireland (as Penney's) and Spain (where it has just a handful of stores). There are believed to be plans for expansion within the EU (particularly in Germany) but there are no plans to trade in the USA.
there is no primark in new york but there is a very cheap shop that sell all designer gear called 'century 21' it is opposite ground zero and i have been loads and it sells everything!! its fab!!
