PRIMARK has confirmed when it plans to open the doors of its new store.

The fashion retailer, which will take over the former BHS store in the Old George Mall, Salisbury, has started recruiting employees today (July 3) as it prepares for the grand opening.

Set across two floors, customers will be able to shop clothing, kidswear, beauty, lifestyle and home.

Primark will open in September, with the exact opening date to be confirmed nearer to the time.

It is the business's first new store opening in more than two years and will become the 192nd in the UK.

Primark Salisbury store manager Christopher Carter said: “Our construction team has been busy getting the store ready over the last few months, and now it's time for the next step on our journey.

"We know that Salisbury shoppers have been eagerly awaiting the opening, so we can’t wait to welcome them to the store."

The store is seeking 100 new team members for roles including retail assistants, stockroom colleagues and visual merchandisers with start dates as early as August.

Pay rates for all roles start from £11.00 per hour, following an increase introduced for 26,000 retail assistants in April.

Colleagues also benefit from a 15 per cent discount on Primark products.
