And it\u2019s not going small. The new flagship will span more than 54,000 square feet, marking a massive step in the brand\u2019s U.S. expansion and putting it squarely in competition with some of the city\u2019s busiest fast-fashion heavyweights.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For a brand that built its reputation on rock-bottom prices like $5 tees and full outfits under $50, this Manhattan opening has been a long time coming. While this will be Primark\u2019s 11th store in New York State (and 40th in the U.S.), it\u2019s the first time the retailer has planted its flag in what it calls the \u201cfashion and culture capital\u201d of the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And if early signs are anything to go by, demand won\u2019t be an issue. The brand\u2019s NoHo pop-up drew lines down the block and nearby locations are regularly packed. A Herald Square address (arguably one of the highest-foot-traffic corners in the city) only ups the ante.<\/p>\n<p>On opening day, doors open at 10 am with a ribbon cutting, music and giveaways for early arrivals. From there, the party spills into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/newyork\/attractions\/herald-square\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Herald Square Plaza<\/a> with a full-on block party featuring live DJ sets, free treats, branded pedicab rides and photo ops.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even as e-commerce continues to dominate, Primark has stayed firmly committed to brick-and-mortar, betting that low prices and high-volume foot traffic still win.\u00a0Now it\u2019s taking that formula straight into the heart of Midtown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Primark, the Irish-born budget retailer with a cult following, has finally set its sights on Manhattan, opening its&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":205052,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[2540,9,2541,56,63,65,64,2539],"class_list":{"0":"post-205051","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-categories-shopping","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-news-shopping-style","11":"tag-ny","12":"tag-nyc","13":"tag-nyc-headlines","14":"tag-nyc-news","15":"tag-shopping"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=205051"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/205051\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=205051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=205051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=205051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
