Primark

Cheap fashion chain

Primark is a budget clothing and homeware retailer, originally Irish, now operating across Europe and in parts of the United States.

The name has become shorthand for affordable fast fashion: I got this dress at Primark for twelve pounds.

Known in Ireland as Penneys, its original name.
