A new retailer is expanding to the North Star State with its first-ever Minnesota location in the Mall of America.
Primark, which was founded in 1969 in Ireland, is preparing to open in 2026 on the mall’s first floor, according to a Mall of America release. However, an official grand opening has yet to be announced.
The chain retailer offers men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, according to the release. It also has home and beauty products. The Mall of America’s release states the brand caters to “budget-conscious shoppers who don’t want to compromise on style.”
A sign in the Mall of America on Feb. 28, 2026, advertises the new Primark store.
“Our focus is on creating a shopping experience that brings international relevance while introducing exciting regional firsts,” Mall of America Vice President Carrie Charleston wrote in a statement. “We’re thrilled to welcome Primark to our lineup as the brand’s first Minnesota location. Their arrival reflects the growing demand for accessible, trend-driven fashion that truly connects with today’s consumer.”
