Primark opens in Mondeville 2, explaining its Penneys name in Ireland

actu.fr (French)

Primark opened its 29th French store in Mondeville 2 on September 5, 2025. The Irish retailer is known as Penneys in its home country. The company was founded in Dublin in 1969 by Arthur Ryan as Penneys, reflecting its concept of affordable, "pocket money" prices. The name Primark was adopted for international expansion because Penneys was already trademarked elsewhere. Penneys remains a point of national pride in Ireland, and the company has no plans to change the name there. Primark specializes in low-cost ready-to-wear clothing.
