Low-cost fashion retailer Primark has revealed the 25 stores which it will be launching a click and collect trial - but none of them are in the North East.
The chain, which has stores in Newcastle, Metrocentre, Sunderland and Hartlepool, relaunched its website earlier this year, but does not let shoppers buy online. It announced in June that it would be trialling a click and collect service in the North West of England, but has only announced the stores taking part this week.
The retailer says the stores chosen are a mix of large city centre and out-of-town stores as well as smaller high street locations, and shoppers will be able to choose from an extended children's range, including hundreds of items that are exclusive to its click and collect service. Customers will be able to browse the range online, choose their preferred collection day and then collect from a dedicated collection point at their nominated store.
