LEADING clothing retailer Primark is set to move into the vacant former BHS store at Belfast’s Abbey Centre.
Owners NewRiver REITT has confirmed Primark will be increasing its presence at the Abbey Centre, moving into the new 26,700 sq ft premises next summer. The move will upsize the company's current trading space by 75 per cent.
The latest letting at the Newtownabbey centre continues NewRiver’s active asset management strategy which over the last 18 months has delivered a brand new purpose-built 42,000 sq ft full-range Next store, extended and fully-refurbished Dunnes Stores and the introduction of New Look, Caffé Nero and Nando’s alongside other lettings and refurbishments to the mall, signage, car park, branding and entrances.
Emma Mackenzie, Director at NewRiver REIT said: "Primark is taking the former BHS store and we are working on various other exciting opportunities for the existing Primark store once they vacate.”
