Primark in Preston is reopen and 'back to business as usual' after temporary closure on Saturday

Bosses at the store in the Fishergate Shopping Centre locked the doors because of 'an ongoing facailities issue' on Saturday afternoon.

It is thought to have reopened to shoppers mid to late afternoon.

Customers in the city were shocked by the temporary closure with only a poster in the window explaining the issue.

We visited the town centre Primark and were told by a member of staff that the Preston store is ‘back to business as usual’ after many customers had enquired about whether the shop would be closing again anytime soon.

A shop manager was unable to tell the Post what had caused the closure but reassured that the store is back open as usual.
