Why Primark Is Thriving While Retailers Like Forever 21 Are Closing | WSJ The Economics Of

Whenever I order clothes shoes it's never quite the same colour or fit. Go shopping it's good for your mental health...not joking. Gets you out the house, chat to strangers, bump into friends etc. etc.

The clothes look cheap like Joe Fresh. Id sooner shop at stores like the Gap and just wait for seasonal sales. Pay a little more but better quality material/product.

Primark is for all.

I've returned 90% of the clothes I bought online. It just doesn't work without feeling the fabric, seeing the fit. Unfortunately clothes are in store only for me. Not worth the hassle.

businesses in america filed for bankruptcy

I visited the store in Brooklyn, very low-quality clothing especially made in Bangladesh, Which means stuff is too cheap. I never like to purchase from Primark Stores.

I love Primark, but I would love it more. If it was online, especially now they do house furniture it’s kind of hard to carry home in uk

Thanks for sharing God bless

Fast fashion is horrible for the environment. It’s a relatively new thing but the damage it has done has outpaced other industries that have been around for decades and centuries. I hope consumers soon realise the horrible impact it has on all of us and will shop more wisely

Their stores look like Ikea for clothes, which is a bit odd for a place that sells fast fashion.?

There's a lack of style in their stores compared to places like H&M, Zara, Forever 21 and etc. Even stores that try to go for a more simplistic style like Old Navy and Gap have certain design elements that make their stores unique. Primark just looks like the inside of a warehouse and many of their stuff in the video looks kinda bland and basic.

They need to open a few over where I live! Tired of hustling for deals with cranky karens at my elbow!

Basically it's a zudio of UK

I when to a mall on a weekday in Massachusetts, when I was on holiday there and it was dead. I'd never seen that before; it was really weird.

Most times it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years that there are lots of opportunities in the financial market. The only thing is to know where to invest.

干净整洁一点的批发市场吗？

Very low quality.
Only 2 times washing.

A son of the Emperor - all hail the Primark!

The lines at Primark is too long so I never buy from them even though I see something I like.

Thriving because they’re also cutting staffing levels, redundancies across the board.

Complete with escalators and everything! Bring one to L.A.!

I love a brick and motor shopping experience and have always preferred that to online. There's just something about tasting, touching, smelling, trying on, the human interaction, the discovery that a brick and motor shopping experience has always provided. You just can't get that from online shopping.

"No limit to what I can buy ".which basically means I will buy which i feel good about but do not need and over time I am in credit card debt

Never heard of this store - still not going to buy from it….

The imperium demands it’s survival!

the quality is very low wash twice and then trash it.

I use to own clothes from they dont close for a year

She used to fly 6 hours to buy cheap clothing?? Why

$9.5 in revenue, what is their expenses? I understand they are a private company but hoping someone has some insight.

WHEN THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD sas STARTED HIS MISSION PREACHING ISLAM
HE WAS THE LONE VOICE FOR ISLAM IN ALL OF ARABIA (PAGAN WORSHIPPERS)

IN 23 YEARS BY THE TIME OF HIS DEATH ENTIRE ARABIA HAD ACCEPTED ISLAM
PURE MONOTHEISTIC WORSHIPING GOD THE ONE AND ONLY ONE THE CREATOR

CALLING ALL PEOPLE TO ISLAM
TRUE RELIGION ON THE EARTH IS ISLAM ONLY

Primark has a similar model to Target! Good for them they recognize Target's success and apply it to the UK/European market.

🎉lovedprimark🎉

Good on this company for trying to keep the instore purchases alive. But I’m definitely not flying to the east coast for fast fashion

Future is hybrid. Some mix.

I am shocked when they said online is too expensive
However, if u think about it, u need brick and mortar rental cost, labour, u need designers and maintenance
It is just so expensive being a brick and mortar

I don't shop on line,I go in store

they're irish as well 💪🇮🇪

so its basically like a pick up service.. its nothing new.. .. so stop trying to make it seem like the company is doing something so innovative and new.

Stores are slowly fading away. Companies knows this and they are slowly backing away from stores. However the rate at which they are backing away is faster than the rate at which stores are fading. Thus leaving a gap that this company is taking advantage of. But is it a viable long term strategy? Time will tell.

My sister bought me a set of PJs from Primark back when she visited the UK. I've loved the pants, its been 2 years and I still love them and are extra careful and wear them to sleep on Fridays and Saturdays haha. I wish they would open one here in Toronto!

It’s great to see some physical stores in the mall

Primary started in u.k I think. Saw it was really big there a decade ago.

They've realised that there's no need for PRICE GOWGING ....they make more even though the percentage of profit is smaller....the customers cone again and again

Brilliant. They went against the grain for the win.

The rise of e-commerce was greatly blown out of proportion

While they making this out to be good in the long run they are hurting themselves.

Within the next 10 years online shopping will only grow bigger then they will find themselves playing catch up.

They are in very limited market in the usa

Location Location means everything to a retailer, however, the UK 🇬🇧 retailer and the US 🇺🇸 retailer are very much different.

"Cheers, Penney's finest."

Fast fashion to its extreme, a cancer in todays world

“The Sweet Spot” that’s very deep advise

First of all Primark breaking human rights!, Using child labor, not paying for the work what they should....polluting environment...pure abuse of people and environmental!
