Primark tops National Retail Federation’s list of fastest-growing retailers

The National Retail Federation (NRF) has unveiled its 2018 list of the 100 fastest-growing retailers in the United States. With a sales growth of 103 percent in 2017, compared to 2016, Primark managed to score the first place on NRF’s list. The British fast fashion retailer first landed in the US in 2015. Since then, it’s opened eight more stores in the country. The latest of them, opened in Brooklyn in May, spans over 58,000 square feet -- that’s 40 percent larger than the average Primark store in the US.
