After four years since a blaze damaged the historic Bank Buildings in Belfast city centre, Primark is preparing to open the door of its flagship store this week.
The reopening of store follows four years of complex redevelopment including significant retention, demolition, and re-building works at the site, with the aim of bringing this historic building back to life since the fire in 2018.
With big queues of excited shoppers expected to have a nosey around the new five-storey shop within the next couple of days, we have all the information you need to know right here.

Where is the new Belfast Primark?
Located in The Bank Buildings, the new flagship store is set to reopen at its Royal Avenue location - just in front of the current store and down the road from its Donegall Place extension.
When does the Belfast Primark open?
The new Primark store is set to open its doors to the public on Tuesday, November 1 2022 at 10am.
What can we expect from the new store?
The new Primark store features 88,200 sq. ft. of fantastic retail space, including a brand-new Disney café and dedicated Disney department for adults, kids and home on the second floor.
There will also be a new nail and beauty studio, and a new fifth floor which will house a brand-new Home department offering Primark’s full homeware range of accessories, bedding and small furniture to customers in Belfast for the first time.
Will the other Primark locations stay open?
In advance of the reopening, the smaller Primark store at Fountain House on Donegall place will close, with all employees transferring back to the new Bank Buildings store.
