“At Primark, we want as many people as possible to look good and feel good about the fashion and essentials they buy for themselves and their families,” said Kevin Tulip, President of Primark U.S. “Opening this new store in Queens Center Mall will help us deliver our amazing value to more New Yorkers just in time for what we know can be a stressful holiday shopping season. Whether you’re shopping for the latest trends for yourself or checking off a gift list for family and friends, we’ve got you covered, and we can’t wait to welcome the Queens community in our doors starting Dec. 5.”

The store also offers exclusive sports merchandise for New York Giants, Jets, Knicks, and Nets fans, with items like tees starting at $14.

To celebrate the grand opening, Primark will host an event-packed weekend, including live music from a DJ, local treats, and giveaways available on a first-come, first-served basis.
