Commenting on the move, Paul Marchant, chief executive of Primark, emphasised Primark’s dedication to supporting customers during financially challenging times and said: “Kids clothes are an essential purchase, and we know that getting ready for a new school term can be a really expensive time for many families. We want to do our bit to help alleviate some of that pressure by lowering the prices on many of our kids’ essentials while continuing to offer the same great quality.”

In addition to the price reductions, Primark is expanding its Click + Collect trial in 32 more stores in and around London. This trial extension enables customers to buy online from a wide selection of kids’ and nursery products, with the added convenience of collecting their purchases in their chosen store on a designated day
The trial had initially covered 25 stores in the North West of England.
The stores in London offering the service range from Hackney to Hammersmith and Staines to Westfield Stratford and vary from multi-storey flagships on either end of Oxford Street, destination stores in Bluewater, Lakeside and Westfield White City, and smaller high street locations like Tooting and Woolwich.
As for the new price reductions on selected kidswear products, they will be available in all 191 Primark stores in the UK starting from July 31. Customers can browse the Primark website and use the stock checker to verify product availability before heading to their local store.
Kari Rodgers, UK retail director at Primark, said: “It’s a really exciting moment for us as we take our Click + Collect trial to the next level and bring it to 32 of our stores in and around London. This means the service is now available in around a third of our UK stores, giving even more customers the added choice and convenience Click + Collect offers and complementing the experience within our stores. The feedback we’ve had from customers in the stores already in the trial has been really encouraging so we’re looking forward to learning more as we expand the trial further.”
