Retail clothing giant Primark opening first Georgia store in Augusta Mall
An international clothing retailer is opening its first Georgia store in Augusta.
Primark Ltd., headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, has signed a lease agreement for space in Augusta Mall, the company announced Tuesday.
Primark U.S. President Kevin Tulip delivered the news in Las Vegas at Shoptalk 2025, an annual trade event for retail businesses. Primark also plans store openings in Greenville, S.C., and Arlington, Texas.
“These expansions reflect our commitment to bringing Primark’s unique combination of style, quality and affordability to even more shoppers in the U.S,” Tulip said.
The retail chain emphasizes fashionable clothes at competitively discounted prices, as well as home furnishings and beauty care products.
Primark operates 450 stores in 17 countries. Its first store in Dublin in 1969 opened under the name Penneys, and the 38 stores in Ireland today still carry that name. Elsewhere in the world, where JCPenney still holds the rights to the Penneys name, the stores are Primarks.
