Primark to open first Texas location in McAllen’s La Plaza Mall

An international retailer offering quality fashion at value prices is set to open its first Texas location at La Plaza Mall in McAllen. 

Primark announced earlier this month that it will open its first Texas location on Dec. 12, adding that shoppers who visit opening weekend will experience fun for the whole family as there will be a local DJ providing live entertainment, giveaways for those in line and local snacks first come first served. 

McAllen’s location kicks off Primark’s expansion into the southern part of the country, particularly in Texas as it also announced additional lease signings with intent to open new stores in Hurst and Houston. 

“As one of the fastest growing states in the country, Texas represents an exciting growth opportunity for Primark as we continue our expansion across the country,” President of Primark US Kevin Tulip said in the release.

Primark will be located across Macy’s Home Store, where the Joe Brand store used to be since March 6, 1982 before closing its doors in 2018. 

The release also noted that Primark’s Talent Acquisition team is already searching for full and part-time roles, adding that base pay for sales associates starts at $15 an hour with 50 cents per hour increases at 6 and 12 months of employment.

Primark noted in the release that it is working to make more sustainable fashion affordable for everyone through its Primark Cares strategy, which is a multi-year program focused on giving clothes a longer life, protecting life on the planet and supporting the livelihoods of the people who make their clothes. 

Primark unveiled a series of commitments that include making all of its clothes from recycled or more sustainable sourced materials by 2030, halving carbon emissions across its value chain and pursuing a living wage for workers in its supply chain. 

“We are extremely excited for our first Texas opening on December 12th and in preparation, we’re building our La Plaza team and getting ready to welcome shoppers to experience the joy that our unique combination of quality products at affordable prices brings to families, just in time for the holidays,” Tulip said.
