Primark closing?

[NewBiz 10]

I've been told by a colleague that the Primark opposite Fitzalan Square is closing at the end of this month. Has anyone else heard this?

 

Hope not because it's really handy for popping into at lunchtime for a browse.

It is. It's moving to The Moor.

Its moving to a huge shiny new store on The Moor. Which isnt near Castlegate.

 

Surely thats great news?

... which seems like an odd decision to me.

Moor markets might be pleased with this decision.

eh?

 

No it won't.

 

I rarely visit Castle Sqaure or that part of town (less than once a month).

 

I visit the Moor several times a week.

I agree. Castlegate is really scruffy. I know people have a soft spot for it but if i was a student id hate to go to that part of town.

 

Primark made this decision years ago. When they started upgrading The Moor

The old Castle Market area is earmarked for development, which it desperately needs as it's a terribly scruffy area of town.

No, not when it means it's 20 mins away from work as opposed to 2 mins and it's a shop I like
