"We are very pleased to be opening our first store in the heart of Amsterdam," said Ronald Voogt, Managing Director for Primark in the Netherlands and Belgium. "It is a an important opening for Primark and we are looking forward to expanding our reach and bringing Primark to even more customers."
Although the store is not nearly as large as Primark's biggest store in the UK, currently located in Manchester and spanning 14,400 sqaure meter, the Irish fashion value retailer still needs to sell 4,007 pairs of jeans retailing at 17 euros per day in order to cover its annual Amsterdam store rent of 24,861,000 euros (21,191,800 pounds) according to calculations made FashionUnited.
