Primark's Liverpool store under construction as major changes announced

Primark in Liverpool city centre is currently undergoing major construction work, with shoppers set to see a major change.

The beloved high street favourite has a loyal customer base, thanks to its wide array of consistently on-trend yet affordable fashion, accessories, beauty supplies, homeware products, and more. Unlike its competitors, the retailer doesn't have a traditional website, relying instead on in-store purchases.

Primark's vast Church Street store is currently partly boarded up, while several changes are underway. The popular retailer is ramping up its partnership with WornWell by the Vintage Wholesale Company, as well as hit bakery chain, Greggs, which will see the arrival of an in-house café.

Construction is currently underway, with the new café expected to accompany a rejig of the store's layout. It's believed that the café will share a floor with Primark's homeware department.

Liverpool isn't the only city which can expect this change. The retailer is to open four new Tasty by Greggs cafés between now and the end of July, with Newcastle, Bristol and Leeds stores also receiving the same treatment as Liverpool.

The first café is to open in Newcastle, which is the home of Greggs. The new cafés will feature the same vibrant interiors and backdrops as those in the two Tasty by Greggs Cafés already open in Primark Birmingham and Oxford Street East.

Tim Kelly, director of New Business Development at Primark, said: "Our stores are at the heart of Primark and we're always looking for ways to bring them to life, giving customers experiences they can't find anywhere else.

"Our partnerships with Greggs and WornWell have been two very different partnerships but the customer reaction to both has been fantastic, so we're delighted to be expanding our partnerships, bringing them to more locations across the UK and offering customers even more reasons to visit their local store."

Tony Rowson, property director at Greggs, commented: "We're thrilled with the success of our partnership with Primark to date – ranging from three iconic fashion collections to now three brilliant Tasty by Greggs cafés. We're constantly on the lookout for new ways to inspire and excite our customers and we're looking forward to extending our partnership to new locations later this year".
