Primark Chester
The long anticipated Primark store opened in the old Woolworth's Building on Foregate Street Chester on Tuesday 18th May. Judging by the flocks of Primark bags parading the rows on Thursday the good people of Chester must have been starved of clothes for decades.
The 33,650 sq ft store opened after a 15 month refurbishment and a wrangle over the store front design. Nearly two and a half thousand people applied for the 190 jobs that the store brings to Chester.
New Year Sales
Crowds flocked to Chester City Centre straight after Christmas day to hunt out bargains.
Sign of the Times
Not only is there a plethora of "to let" signs and empty shops on the high street of our towns. But sale signage appears to be getting brasher. Chester has below the national average of empty retail premises and the authorities have been quite protective of the visual apperance of the Rows in the city. But I thought this development was quite striking. Two adjacent shops competeing for the attention of the bargain hunting public.
