Primark Limited (; trading as Penneys in Ireland) is an Irish multinational fashion retailer with headquarters in Dublin, Ireland, with 476 stores in Europe and in the United States and franchised stores in Kuwait and Dubai (opening 2026). The company was founded as Penneys; however, that brand is not used outside of Ireland because of a trademark conflict with American retailer JCPenney. It is owned by Associated British Foods. Primark offers products including: baby, children's, women's and men's clothing, accessories and footwear; beauty products; housewares and confectionery. The company is known for its fast fashion and lower prices than competitors. It is a member of the UN Fashion Charter and the Ethical Trading Initiative. Primark has targets to reduce textile waste, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improve the life of workers. As of 2025, 74% of its garments use recycled fibers. The company has been criticized for sourcing products from suppliers with poor working conditions in investigations by War on Want, BBC News, as well as from notes found by alleged workers in clothing; however, some of these notes and footage have been determined to be hoaxes.
