Primark sales climb as prices rise and city centre stores boom

Retailer will extend online click & collect service to London and expand into Texas after strong results

Primark is to extend its online click & collect service to London and expand in the southern US after reporting strong first-half sales.

The cut-price retailer said it had benefited from a return of tourists and office workers across UK cities, who had bought more items than a year before despite a 7% rise in prices.
