The new stores have increased Primark’s store count in the New York City region to five.
In addition, the retailer has signed a lease for a fourth store at Queens Center in Queens.
Primark US president Kevin Tulip said: “We’re excited for the future for Primark in New York, as our current stores have shown the important role we can play in the region as an affordable and inclusive retailer, bringing back the allure of brick-and-mortar.
“Primark offers shoppers affordability without sacrificing quality. Whether they are shopping for their own essentials, the latest trend pieces, or fulfilling loved ones’ holiday wish lists, we have something for everyone in the family and we are committed to delivering the best value on the high street.”
