Press releases

Primark Scottish Flagship Store Primark has selected Holyrood PR to handle the launch and pre-opening event for Primark’s long-awaited Scottish flagship store in Edinburgh.

The Princes Street store, which offers 75,000 sq ft of retail space over five floors and is the sixth largest in the UK, will open its doors to the public on Saturday 10th December at 9.00am.

Primark employed the expertise of Holyrood PR to manage the public consultation process during the planning application phase, before becoming their first choice to launch the new store.

A media campaign will raise awareness of the launch of Primark Edinburgh and position it as the Scottish flagship store to attract potential customers from the city and surrounding Lothian and Borders as well as drawing tourists to Edinburgh.

Raymond Notarangelo, director and co-founder of Holyrood PR, said:  “It’s a great thrill to be working with Primark on such a landmark project.

“Edinburgh – and indeed Scotland – has been anticipating the arrival of the Primark store and we will be ensuring that excitement levels will build and build up to launch day.

“Our aim is to help make the Edinburgh Primark launch one of the company’s busiest openings on record.”
