Question

Why Is Primark called Primark in England, And Pennys in Ireland?

Answer 1

I work for Primark and my manager told me this, it was originally made in Ireland and when they brought Penney's to the UK they had to change the name due to there already being a JC Penneys in America and I think in England too, so due to copywrite they called it Primark instead, which I think is a translation
