Primark takes further step into online shopping with home deliveries

Primark has said it plans to launch a home delivery service in Britain, four years after it made its first foray into e-commerce.

The retailer said it had bought a fulfilment facility in Sheffield to enable it to ship products to homes.

Primark did not sell goods online until 2022, when it launched a click-and-collect service which meant shoppers still had to travel to pick up their purchases.

The company said there was "opportunity for profitable growth" through home deliveries, which could help boost trade after Primark reported subdued sales following the recent hot weather.
