our global
footprint
We're on an ambitious growth journey – to grow our stores from 400 to 530 by the end of 2026. That's because we want to bring maximum joy at minimum cost to as many savvy shoppers as possible. This means growing our presence in existing markets as well as expanding into markets that don't know us yet.
We're aiming to reach 60 stores by the end of 2026 in the US, as well as focusing our efforts on our European markets: France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).
All of this growth means we're transforming the way we do things and keeping sustainability a priority with our Primark Cares strategy. We’re investing in the latest tech and making our supply chain as efficient as possible. All of this brings huge opportunities for our people to grow and make an impact – no matter where you work in the business.
