Along with retailers such as Zara and H&M, Primark contributes to the contemporary fast fashion trend. According to an article about Primark in ''The Economist'', "For many shoppers, Primark has an irresistible offer: trendy clothes at astonishingly low prices. The result is a new and even faster kind of fast fashion, which encourages consumers to buy heaps of items, discard them after a few wears and then come back for another batch of new outfits." ==History== Primark was first opened by Arthur Ryan in June 1969 in Mary Street, Dublin under the name Penneys.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fashion swing is felt by Penneys' owners )〕 Further expansion and success in Ireland led to the move to the United Kingdom, and, in 1971, it opened a large store in Belfast City Centre before opening four out-of-town stores in England in 1973.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The rise and rise of Primark )〕 In October 2011, Primark opened its first concession model. Primark is now stocked in Selfridges department stores in Trafford Centre, Manchester, The Bull Ring, Birmingham and Oxford Street, London.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Opposites attract: Primark to open its first concessions... in Selfridges )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Primark」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
