Primark, the international retailer offering quality fashion at value prices, announced it will open its new store at La Plaza in McAllen, Texas on December 12. This is Primark's first store opening in Texas and will offer many first-time shoppers and brand fans alike more than 37,000 square feet of retail selling space. Bringing Primark to 29 US stores, across 12 states, this store is also in close proximity to Mexico, serving shoppers beyond the States as well.
In addition to announcing the opening date of its La Plaza location, the retailer also announced additional lease signings in the state of Texas with the intent to open new stores at North East Mall in Hurst and Willowbrook Mall in Houston.
Totaling 70,000 square feet of retail selling space, these new stores will bring Primark's signature combination of the latest fashion trends and essentials for the whole family, as well as homewares and beauty, at the affordable prices American shoppers are seeking out. This continues Primark's expansion into the southern US, in particular Texas. In addition to these newly announced store leases and the opening at La Plaza, Primark has already announced the intent to open stores at Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso and Katy Mills in Houston, for a total of five new Texas locations.
"As one of the fastest growing states in the country, Texas represents an exciting growth opportunity for Primark as we continue our expansion across the country," said Kevin Tulip, President of Primark US. "We are extremely excited for our first Texas opening on December 12th and in preparation, we're building our La Plaza team and getting ready to welcome shoppers to experience the joy that our unique combination of quality products at affordable prices brings to families, just in time for the holidays."
With preparation for the opening underway, Primark's Talent Acquisition team is searching for retail colleagues to fill full and part-time roles. All available roles can be viewed on the Primark Careers Site and successful applicants can look forward to Primark's competitive salary, with sales associate base pay starting at $15.00 an hour and $0.50 per hour increases at 6 months and 12 months of employment.
