Primark owner in spotlight over eurozone sales
The group is due to release its interim results on Wednesday having indicated in February that sales at Primark were likely to be 4 per cent higher in the first half, though down slightly on a like-for-like basis. This would reflect a dip in underlying sales in the eurozone, in part due to difficult trading in Germany.
Earlier this month, the world’s largest Primark store opened its doors, featuring water fountains, charging points and recycling areas.
