Fashion and homewares retailer Primark has confirmed plans to open a second standalone homewares store in Manchester.

Situated in Manchester’s Trafford Centre, the new two-storey 11,900sqft space, located in the Palazzo, will house the retailers most popular homeware items, including bedding, towels, ceramics and small furniture, as well as its new elevated Edit collection.

The new Manchester store follows the March opening of Primark Home in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the retailer’s first ever standalone homewares store.

Commenting on the launch, Paul Baldwin, trading director for home at Primark, said: “Customer reaction to our first Primark Home store in Belfast has been really positive, and we can’t wait to bring this exciting new concept to Great Britain later this summer.

“Homes have become more than just places to live, they’re an extension of our personalities, so whether it’s soft furnishings, statement tableware, or smart storage solutions you’re after, our range has something for every style and budget.”
