Revolutionising Retail: Primark’s Click & Collect Strategy
Primark has unveiled its groundbreaking expansion plans to roll out its Click & Collect service across all 184 of its UK stores, marking a significant leap in the retailer’s strategic journey. This decision comes after an 18-month trial proved overwhelmingly successful, demonstrating the viability of a model that blends in-store shopping with online convenience.
A Phased Approach to a Seamless Shopping Experience
The phased rollout will see the service available in all stores across England, Scotland, and Wales by the end of 2025, beginning with a new wave of launches toward the end of this year. By then, customers can choose from over 3,000 options in an expanding product range that now includes men’s fashion and selected home and lifestyle products, in addition to the women’s and kids’ clothing and accessories currently available.
Paul Marchant, Primark’s Chief Executive, noted that the trial’s positive results reflected customer enthusiasm for the convenience of Click & Collect, while also affirming the business’s confidence in the approach: “We’re now confident that we’ve found a model that can do both and support us with our plans to grow the business.”
Meeting Customer Demand with Enhanced Convenience
Primark’s Click & Collect service is structured to make shopping easy. Customers can browse online, add Click & Collect items to their virtual basket, and then choose a preferred collection day before picking up their purchases from a designated point in-store. This hybrid model blends the advantages of in-store browsing with the flexibility of online shopping, offering customers a convenient way to shop Primark’s extensive range.
The expanded service will give the retailer access to an even wider customer base. Feedback from existing customers has been enthusiastic, as the retailer has offered them more reasons to shop at Primark. New customers are also being drawn in, benefiting from the company’s reputation for value and choice.
Continuing the Legacy
As Primark celebrates 50 years on the British high street, this expansion is part of a broader investment strategy to reaffirm its position as a high-street mainstay. With Click & Collect as a cornerstone of its vision, the retailer aims to enhance its accessibility, convenience, and customer satisfaction while maintaining its value-oriented business model.
Customers eager to follow the Click & Collect rollout can track the latest updates on the Primark website and stay informed about the next wave of stores to launch the service.
