Primark coming to Carlisle can only be good for the City in the short-term, however the fervour around this brand name is scary, how can one store have such an affect ? Primark is the Pound-Shop of the clothes industry with little concern about fair-trade and where goods are sourced, but because the gear is cheap no one gives a damn. The Supermarkets have stifled and killed local businesses, while leaving a wake of waste and over-production in their supply chain, this is not sustainable.....neither is Primark !!
hahaha what a load of rubbish.
im old enough to remember the same arguments 20+ years ago when Matalan were looking to open in Carlisle. the same concerns then as now that with its cheap clothing it would kill off all the other clothes retailers.
