Primark has announced it will be expanding its click and collect services to all of its UK stores. The service will be available in all of the 184 stores in England. Scotland and Wales by the end of 2025.
The news comes after its owner’s, Associated British Foods, pre-tax profits grew significantly by 37 per cent to £881 million. Retail Gazette reported that the Irish retailer had also seen a “significant increase” in adjusted operating profits, increasing 46 per cent to £508 million.
Its click and collect service has been rolled out to a fraction of its stores in an 18-month trial. Primark’s sales jumped 7.5 per cent to £4.5 billion in the 24 weeks to March 2, as like-for-like sales edged up 2.1 per cent.
As well as the expansion of this service, Primark will also be adding new categories and products available to buy online. Men’s clothes and a number of home and lifestyle products are to join the nationwide expansion.
Paul Marchant , Primark chief executive officer, said: “Our trial of click and collect over the last 18 months has been about understanding how we can offer our customers greater convenience to shop with us wherever they are, but in a way that complements our business and our stores.”
“We’re now confident that we’ve found a model that can do both and support us with our plans to grow the business. The feedback from our customers has been positive as they really value the convenience our service offers and we’re also seeing it’s reaching new customers too. I am excited to see this expand and give more people more reasons to choose Primark and discover the great value and ranges we have in store.”
