Primark Will Open For 24 Hours Next Week In Sheffield, Leeds And York

Following a month-long closure as a result of the November lockdown, Primark has confirmed it will re-open for a 24-hour shopping special next week – with a number of stores taking part.

The extended hours will begin at 7am Wednesday 2nd December, running through til regular closing time on Thursday 3rd December – making for plenty of time to catch up on a bit of Christmas shopping.
