Primark has launched a new click and collect trial in 25 stores including seven across Greater Manchester. The trial will begin before the end of the year and includes the retailer's kids' clothing range.
It will be the first time that Primark has offered customers the option to buy online and then collect from a dedicated collection point at their nominated store.
There's no set date for it to start yet, other than Primark bosses confirming it will be 'before the end of the year', so it's likely to make Christmas shopping that bit easier for families who either can't face the festive queues, or struggle to pick items up when shopping with their children.
Twenty five stores have been selected for the trial and it's great news for Greater Manchester as seven of them are here.
They include Market Street, The Trafford Centre, Oldham, Stockport, Bury, Bolton and Wigan. The others are in Yorkshire and North Wales.
The mix of Primark stores taking part ranges from large city centre and out-of-town stores to smaller high street locations.
The trial will offer customers the opportunity to shop an extended kids’ range - spanning everything from clothing and accessories, to decorative nursery products and toys.
They'll be able to choose from around 2,000 kids’ products, including clothing, accessories, lifestyle and home - around 60% of which can only be found in Primark's largest stores, while around 40% will be exclusive to Click + Collect.
Kari Rodgers, Primark UK retail director, said: “We're thrilled that customers across North West England, parts of Yorkshire and North Wales, will soon be the first in the country to get the chance to try out our new Click + Collect offer.
"From launch, they’ll be able to browse and buy from our extensive range of kids clothing and nursery products, from the comfort of their own home, before coming to collect from one of our chosen 25 stores."
Shoppers across the country can also now visit Primark’s new website – launched in the UK earlier this year – which features thousands of products across men’s, women’s, kids’ and home, and offers customers the option to check item availability in local stores before making a visit.
