They want somewhere with 60,000 square feet? Where will they find that? Maybe the Viaduct? Or maybe a new plot? Either way it could link with Blue Blunder.

Good I hope not. That area of town still has a bit of class. We don't really want to encourage chav central into the historic quarter. Stick em down the viaduct!

Rumour is they're taking BHS (Now shutting again) and Superdrug (Moving elsewhere in Centre) in Lanes and making one big shop from the adjoining units...

the last time (of many) it was mentioned, the plan was to move superdrug into the closed dorothy perkins unit, poundland is on a temp lease and bhs is to shut so primark was to take the units from bhs to kfc including the jjb store and use all three floors for retail as that would give them the required 60K square footage needed.
apparently.

Find it laughable that the OP mocked someone last week for posting about an ex-Carlisle managers potential next job, yet his recent posts have included who Fleetwood's new manager is (nowt to do with Carlisle), who Coventry's new loan signing is (nowt to do with Carlisle) and that a new shop is opening in town next year (nowt to do with football)!!

Not a fan personally, but good for the city, will create jobs and get more people coming into town spending their money.

This is likely to have a positive impact on the fortunes of the blues.
Out of town supporters will go to the games while their other half stocks up on onesies etc.
Those that live in Carlisle will save money on socks/pants etc so will have more spare cash to come to games.

Wow!. Exactly the same arrangement I have with my missus.
Liverpool, London, Newcastle, Edinburgh.
Whenever we are visiting any of these cities I know of a pub close to each Primark, exactly where I am going to be spending a quality few hours.

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 !!

Often in the one on Northumberland street in Newcastle always busy and the stuff is not as bad as people make out , but its a massive draw to the town centre. Also onsies are not in fashion any more.

Their sizing has gone shite as well.. tried a large hoodie on yesterday ( wasnt mine)..way too short in length. For the lads with big kites you will need at least 2 sizes up :-)

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.

If you can't beat them join them :)

I hate shopping, the idea of going off to some strange city just to shop. . .crikey I think I'd rather go to the dentist, so I genuinely don't understand all the fuss about Primark. Never been inside one and happy for it to stay that way but could say the same for just about every shop there is,
