PRIMARK’S boss has announced an update on the store’s plans for a website – and shoppers won’t be pleased.
It comes as the bargain clothes chain revealed a list of click and collect stores last October.

Primark has revealed it won’t be offering home delivery services, despite the popularity of its click and collect trial.
It told the Financial Times the idea was a “nice hypothesis”, but that it would stick to being a high street retailer.
The decision comes even after the company’s loss of over £100mn a week during the Covid lockdown in 2020.
The Sun has reached out for a comment, and we will update this story when we hear back.
Right now, 25 stores across England and Wales are taking part in click and collect services, but just for kids toys, clothing and nursery ranges.
That means womenswear and homeware are things you’d still need to hunt for in store.
The idea is for customers to browse online, choose their preferred collection day and then pick up their shopping from their closest branch.
You can find that using the store locator on the Primark website.
There isn’t a fee for shoppers wanting to use the click and collect service – but you have to spend a minimum of £15 to qualify.

It hinted to shoppers back in March that they could soon enjoy a click and collect service.
The retailer has 400 stores globally and nearly 200 in the UK.
And it’s not the only retailer not offering home delivery – Aldi has also stayed away from it.
Instead, you can also choose to click and collect your food shopping online, but it’s only worth it if you’ve got a store close by.
