Nowadays, the company manages 191 stores in the UK and launched the largest Primark shop in the world in Birmingham in 2019. 

The Guardian, a British newspaper, states that Primark UK is the UK’s largest retailer in terms of volume. This is because the company has been able to maintain low prices, control its stock and stay relevant to the latest trends.

In the personal care category, Primark UK offers products such as skincare, makeup, toiletries and fragrances. 

Moreover, cruelty-free products are available as well.

The company works with brands such as Sweet Dreams, Velvet Cherry, Pink Blossom and Super Blends.
