Commenting on the announcement today that Primark is targeting the first week in November for the opening of its new flagship store at Bank Buildings in Belfast city centre, Belfast Chamber Chief Executive Simon Hamilton said,
“This is really positive news for Belfast and will provide our city centre with a much needed boost. Primark is an exceptionally popular store that drives footfall into Belfast from far and wide and its loss after the fire nearly four years ago was acutely felt across the city centre. It is a massive vote of confidence in Belfast that Primark is investing so much and coming back bigger and better and I am sure it will greatly assist Belfast in its ongoing recovery and regeneration. Reopening the store at Bank Buildings will also, in effect, reopen parts of the city centre that have been closed off or difficult to access due to the construction work at Primark and this too will hugely help our city centre”.
“Without a doubt this reopening will be a much-needed boost for the city centre and its traders. This store was always a huge footfall driver for our members in Royal Avenue and the city centre as a whole”
‘Whilst the city centre is experiencing serious challenges at present, its future has huge potential to be a fun, family friendly destination with a dynamic retail and hospitality offering”
