This shop is really good there are so many reasons. All clothing wear is really really cheap you will get alot for your money. The clothes will also last it's the first time i have found a top for 1.50 that has lasted me along time. Primark's home ware is also really good it's all up to date and really stylish you will get really good offers such as 2 for 3 which is really good considering everything sells for pennies anyway. You can also get really good hair accessories, handbags and footwear. This store is huge you would have to give yourself a good hour to look around. read more

This is a huge store and sells a lot of clothes, shoes and nightwear. It can get quite messy in the store especially on a weekend in the afternoon after it has been raided by a few hundred people. They have a lot of bargains in the store but they do also have some items that are very poor quality and badly made. Staff aren't often very helpful if you need help in finding something but that is probably because they have so much stock which changes regularly. read more

love it,love it,love it!! This is like the Walmart of the UK but better. It's a three level building that has everything but furniture. 50 us dollars can go a long way. I come to Manchester often and my trip is not complete unless I go to this place. The underwear is only a pound or a pound 50 which is less than 3 bucks in the states and they have the same type they sell at Victoria's secret. I got my mom 12 pair plus a bra and panty set for less than 25 us dollars.The hand towels are quality towels in a variety of colors. The clothes fit like a glove and I have yet to see anything there for more than 25 pounds. Every thing I own, I get compliments on. I love their accessories and have gotten great deals on tights, over the knee socks, and even rings. My only complaint is how long the lines are but that is because of the great deals. read more

Not been in the manchester store for a while so was quite suprised last month when I called in with the makeover. TK MAXX is no longer downstairs as it has moved to a new location within the arndale centre, so Primark have opened up the lower floor for shoes and gents clothing, which gives more room on the other floors for even more bargins... Which is what we always like. They have all the usual stuff but on a much bigger scale now, it is more on a par with the liverpool branch. All the clothing and accessories are still cheap and great value for money and they now have a larger selection of household items. Also noticed a small selection of Christmas stock out on the shelves. Well worth a visit, but still very busy, so don't be suprised if you find it a struggle to get round then a twenty minute or so wait to pay. read more

This is a huge discount clothing store in a central location. For those of you who don't know, this is the kind of place where you can get six pairs of socks, three t-shirts and a button down shirt for £22. I know this, because that's exactly what I got. Solid selection, well staffed and fairly well organized. Not bad, Primark. Not bad. read more

It's so cheap in here! It's obvious standards have dropped to make it that cheap though. Clothes are always all over the floor and they don't seem to last very long. But nowadays - how long do you want them for anyway!? This shop is right in the centre of manchester which is good and has lots of doors so is easily accessible. It's spread across three floors. includes men's stuff and homewares. There are always massive queues but they go down quickly as there are loads and loads of staff working here. The clothes are fun and the shop doesnt pretend to be anything else but what it is - cheap and cheerful. read more

You can always find a bargain, go in with £100 and you will get a whole new wardrobe of clothes, shoes and accessories. It is always very busy, and you need to be feeling quite patient to have a proper look, whilst tackling the huge crowd. read more

Primark is full of cheap clothes and shoes for women, men and children. It's not hard to see why people get suckered in - why pay £45 for a dress in Topshop when it is £8 in Primark? The downside as a lot of people mention in the reviews, is that it is very very very busy and you have to be able to fight for your life in there sometimes because at £2 for a vest, it attracts anyone and everyone. Also don't expect any help from the shop assistants. Don't expect a thankyou or hello either, but then again, I witnessed the most awful manager there shouting at the till staff, so I could see how you end up very defensive. What is great is that Primark catches on to trends and produces hot fashion items for cheap. The downside is you will see 10 girls in Manchester with the same coat on. Primark also has a quick turnover, so something you bought sometimes will disappear quickly. All in all, this is a real institution. I personally cannot stand being shoved side to side, or the stress of trawling through clothes that have been strewn over the floor. It's only clothes at the end of the day! For those of you who are braver than me, this is a haven. For those of you who value your arms, you might visit this place twice a year (like me!) for essentials like socks and pants. read more

Although i love primark for cheap little buys i refuse to randomly come shopping here the shop is so big with so many people its chaos, but i still find anything and everything when i do shop here, The underwear is really great and you can find anything from comfy to sexy with affordable prices. shoes however are not that great theres always a variety but the heels are so uncomfertable for the price its not worth it unless you have the intention of only wearing them once. Jewlery is always alright and sometimes can be quite tacky but most of the times is lovely read more

This is the first shop I've been to when I came to England. By mistake, of course, I was searching for something completely different. But hey, who cares? I got out with a couple of bags food of socks, tops, jeans and shoes. After I washed few of them and I realized that I can throw them away, I understood that the quality is really bad. I still have a pair of shoes bought a year and a half ago, but obviously, don't get excited here, I took them out just a couple of times, and thank God I'm good on high heels, cuz otherwise, it would have been a disaster. The other think that I don't like about primark is that everybody will wear the same clothes. Have you noticed that in a club there are always a couple of girls in the same dress? I normally go to primark for some accessorizes, some socks(the over the knee socks are awesome), some towels and that's pretty much it. If a t-shirt gets my eyes, I won't say no. I wish they were doing size 6, so that I can actually buy some stuff, but there you go. read more

Primark Oh, Primark, you unholy cathedral to all that is high-street-consumerism. Knocking out billions on billions of garments with little or no care to how long they last, or how much the sweatshop workers were paid to make them. Oh, Primark, you are huge and ugly. In my first year of uni, I loved Primark. Of course I did. I'd come from a small town where there was NOWHERE to buy clothing. Like, nowhere; you had to get a bus for 45 minutes to go and buy clothes. So, imagine my excitement when I realised Primark was right there, and I could buy a whole wardrobe for a thrupenny bit! Duly, in first year, and most of second year, I bought and wore a lot of Primark. But then I realised that I usually only wore said items once or twice, either through it falling apart, or through me recognising it for the impulse buy that it was. And so I fell a little out of love. Primark is great if you want to buy into a trend, because you'll spend £12 on an outfit, which will be easier to swallow once it goes out of fashion. Imagine if you'd spent £75 on Toppy's sequinned dresses, you'd be kicking yourself now. Things Primark is always good for are tights (£2/3 pairs), knickers (£2/pair) and the odd find, such as my recent discovery of a near-perfect Stella MacCartney rip-off for £12. Of course, while chain stores have a uniform appearance, there is always a difference in branches. Here's a few tips for Manchester Primark: don't come here on a weekend unless you actively enjoy picking your way through hundreds of discarded garments, and rifling through racks bereft of all sizes but 8 and 18. - Come on a weekday. Yes, yes, I hear you, you work a 9-5. Well, Primark is open til 8. Weekday evenings are muuuuch more tranquil than the weekends. - Unless you're trying on a bra, or a body-con dress that demands fullstripping and wrestling with clothing, try the clothes on on the shop floor, over/under your trousers/skirt. Make sure you take a willing friend to hold your bag, coat and any other discarded items. For cardis and whatnot, it's simple. For skirts, there is a small danger of knicker-flash. That is what your willing friend is for: human shield! Seriously, though, you don't want to be spending your life in the changing room queue, but you don't want to risk... - The exchange/refund queue. It is frickin huge. Like a slow-moving conga line of dissatisfied people who didn't try the clothes on, or who've been given Primani gifts that they hate. This queue moves slower than a slug in a sack race. - Always, always check the size label ON THE ITEM. The size label on the hanger is almost always wrong. So if you're buying something that you don't need to try on, a basic tshirt or a pair of jimjam bums or the like, check the ACTUAL size label IN the clothing or you'll get home and realise you've bought jimjam bums two sizes too small, forget to take them back and end up giving them to your skinny mate. And that will hurt in so many ways. To touch on the ethical issue, I am going to be a bit...inflammatory and say that yes, sweatshops are horrendous. Yes, I hate the idea of a bunch of badly-paid children making clothes. But the reality is that the whole high street uses these methods (with exceptions, obvio). So I will walk round in my Stella Mac rip-off feeling slightly dirty, and if you want to approach me wearing nought but People Tree and tights you knitted yourself, and lecture me, fine. But what I will not stand for, is someone in Toppy's only ethical tshirt banging on about the ethics of Primani, when Toppy are just as bad. Rant over. So, yeah, Primark. Hmmmm. Quite. read more

One of the biggest primark stores i've been to! Full to bursting with bargin clothing. Tends to get a bit like a jumble sale at times due to the amount of people in there and the sheer quantity of stock that it must be a nightmare for staff to keep things in order. My husband hates the place because it's always packed with bargin hunters and he hates very very crowded stores but I don't mind the hustle and bustle and find it well worth a rumage :0) read more

The best stocked Primark i have ever seen, the only trouble was the crowds and queueing at the till. I queued 30 mins and thats not funny when your hot and bothered. Some real bargains, there were sale rails everywhere. Handbags for £2.00 and 50p bins. Next time i will go just when it has opened and hope for more calm. read more

i remember when this building was a lewis deartment store! (many years ago) but better now its a primark! if you've never been to a primark, this place blows you away! and as primarks go its massive! has the same lines as the primarks in leeds and hull, but a good selection of sizes! the leeds primark often runs out of size 12 and under! and like most primarks, its a case of having a good look around as there is something for everyone! and staff are always nice, not matter how busy it gets! i've never seen primark on a quiet day! read more

This is the best Primark i have been to by far! After visiting the one in London, Sheffield, Blackpool, Dublin, this one beats them hands down. There seems to be a lot more choice but the downside is there are a lot more shoppers! Angry shoppers a lot of the time too! read more

Primark is a godsend for anyone wanting cheap basics and the odd fashion item. It's main pull is that it is cheap, really cheap. Jersey tops for £2, jackets for £10 and shoes for £15, it's no wonder the queues are huge as people struggle to lift their bulging baskets onto the counter. There is the ethical issue of how much are the people who make these items being paid but in today's climate it is unfair to make those who can't afford to shop anywhere else feel like it is their responsibility to sort out this crisis. The other issue is the quality of the goods but you get what you pay for and if an item becomes unwearable after 5 washes, when you only paid £3 for it in the first place do you really care that it is now only fit for the bin? read more

This place is a lifesaver for when you need a new outfit but its near the end of the month and you're skint. Its a huge store with a massive selction of clothes, and they rarely go above £10. The quality is by no means great, but if you buy a long-sleeved top for £2 you don;t really mind! Great for stocking up on cheap essentials, or for a cheap, but fashionable, dress for going out. read more

Well, Primarni as the store is famously know as nowadays is a fantastic store! Spread over three floors the selection is fantastic. Home, mens, womens, kids, accessories, the store has it all and don't even get me started on the prices!! On a day when products are reduced you can pick up clothing garments for as little as 50p!! My personal favourite is the nightwear section, pyjamas from as little as £3- you cant go wrong! Its also a great place for towels, bedding and cushions! Get down there if you love a bargain!!!! read more

Great place for stuff that should be cheap! But the busyness can drie you mad on the weekends and holiday season.

OH My God How much do I love this place!! Better and Bigger than Oxford Street store in London. I can go here with £50 and buy bags and bags full of highly fashionable clothes. You dont need Sale's in Primark, its always one big sale Slippers from £1 Gorgoeus Coats Just £20 winter Boots £7 !! What more can a girl ask for? This is Shopping Heaven. read more

Anyone who doesn't love Primark simply hasn't been! Clothes that are every inch as good as their fashion label equivalents, but for a fraction of the price. It really is a haven- especially in the current financial climate! This particular store has it all, set across two huge floors there is a huge choice of clothes & accessories on offer. I've not once been in this store without buying something, even if ive just been passing through! Located on Market Street, the main shopping area of Manchester it is easy to find and difficult to miss! The only downside as with most bargain stores is that it is almost always jam packed with shoppers which can make the aisles rather hectic with alot of items on the floor, and the queues for the tills rather big. But in weighing all that up, this is always my first port of call when looking for clothes & accessories. read more

I like Primark and have been on a number of stores and the Manchester branch is among the best not only is it a large store with an extremely large selection of stock it is better staffed than the other smaller branches that quickly resemble a jumble sale. However the Manchester branch is very busy and I always try to go during a week day to avoid the crowds. The stock is reasonably priced in comparrison to most high street shops however occasionaly I have found the quality to be somewhat questionable. On the whole however if you check each item before purchase iIthink this is an excellent store to visit close to public transport too, avoiding the stress and expense of town parking! read more

A huge Primark! Loads of bargain finds here - womens, mens, kids, lingerie, accessories etc. All the WAGS use Primark apparently so it has to be good :-) Queues (as expected) are always HUGE here but worth waiting and they always have enough staff to cover the tills. Everything is really cheap so is a favourite cos you can keep up with the latest fashions without breaking the bank. read more

I am drawn to this place like I'm drawn to looking at a car crash. This is one of the biggest Primarks, or 'Primarni' as devotees are calling it, in the country. And the prices are astoundingly cheap. Primark gets it right with cheap fashion, there are some absolutely lovely clothes for under a fiver. You can gorge on throwaway fashion. However, there is little chance of getting in the changing rooms without being herded like cattle for about 20 minutes, and there ethics leave a lot to be desired. The clothes are cheap because they are made in unethical ways. But sometimes it has to be said that the deals are so good you just have to lose your morals. Like I said this place is like a sick little pleasure you really could live without, but whilst its here you just have to indulge. I dont know weather to hate them or love them. You decide. read more

When you visit Primark you pretty much know what you're going to get, and this one is no different, except its bigger, so you get more of both the good and the bad. Stocks a massive range of clothes (and indeed homeware) you can't help but be spoilt for choice. The price is the best you will find for up to date fashions. However the store is rammed full on a Saturday, the queues for both changing rooms and tills are massive and the tidiness and order of other stores does not really feature. read more

Huge Primark. Best time to visit is 30 seconds after it opens in the morning because for the rest of the day it's rammed and can start to look like a jumble sale towards the end of the day. Bargains a plenty, though. Of course, all the clothes are made by sweatshops in developing nations but what high street retailer doesn't employ such means? read more

Primark in Manchester city centre is on Market Street opposite Debenhams. It is a vast and enormous store on 2 floors selling low cost clothing, shoes, accessories, lingerie and nightwear. It is always ridiculously busy, and you always have to wait to be served. The queue for the changing rooms is always long. The clothing is cheap and cheerful, with some real gems and high street looks on the cheap. You can probably kit out a family of 4 for less than £100. The best time to go is opening time in the morning, as it seems to be the quietest part of the day. They dont have a good range of sizes, and the ones they do have tend to be on the small side. Even if there is a massive queue, it is well worth trying things on before you buy them. read more

My kids and wife love the place, they always come out loaded with carrier bags. My heart beats as I think the credit cards have had a bashing.But I am always surprised when the bill comes through. Im no fashion expert but they usually look good The shop itself offers several floors in which the clothes cater for babies to senior citizens. As well as clothes a good range of fashion accesories are also available. The shop is always very busy , but they have a large amount of tills situated at each end of the shop and the staff do good job in reducing waiting time at the tills by fast and efficent in their jobs read more

If you have ever been on a football game and experienced the 'squeeze out' at the end as everyone piles together to go home, Primark is like this ALL the time. Particularly in the womens department, the vultures. And it can get quite frustrating. There is so much cheap crap in Primark you really have to set aside a decent period of time to hunt out the good stuff, much as you would do in TK Maxx. But everyone knows the reason why Primark is so goddamn popular - it's cheap. Walking through Manchester you will come across dozens of people hauling dozens of Primark bags around in both arms looking mighty pleased with themselves. Because within the melee and the constant mess of the place there are some genuinely cool clothes, even if they are 90% polyester. They have recently opened up the basement as sort of a homeware/mens department, which has helped to lighten up the crowds (downstairs at least). I find the mens section is particularly good for smart, work type clothes. I've never really been a fan of their casual clothes, as they always seem a few months out of date and i hate the material. Oh, and you can also pick up some decent under garments in the big bins by the checkouts. I still do my clothes shopping at Topman or H&M. Occasionally i'll wander through Primark but rarely buy anything. read more

The biggest and busiest Primark I have ever visited. Situated opposite Debenhams and covering two floors. There are some amazing bargains to be had as my wife was happy to discover, smart winter coat for £18. The only thing is though it took me ages to find her once I had perused the mens section due to the sheer size of the store. You can easily lose your patience standing in the qeue for so long, but if you want to grab some cheap items then this is definately worth it. I bought some gloves, scarve and winter hat all for under five pounds. read more

Situated beside Piccadilly Gardens and the Market St Metrolink station, is there a bigger Primark on Planet Earth? Made even larger around 2007 when a TK Maxx store located in the same building moved to the nearby Arndale Centre, this behemoth store has more recently been refurbished, with the lower ground floor housing a massive menswear section; the ground floor housing an equally gigantic womenswear section; and the top floor sporting homeware and childrenswear. Each floor is huge and well-stocked; however, as with all Primark stores, the layout is maze-esque and can resemble a jumble sale at times, with products in a pile on the shelves or even on the floor. The store is almost constantly busy - one can spend 15 minutes just fighting your way through the aisles, queues are long at best, and the store itself can get very hot. However, you can leave the store with some good bargains, so if you're into what Primark has to offer, this is a must if you're ever in Manchester. read more

Primark is the biggest clothes shop in Manchester and sells clothes at really low prices. The clothes are OK quality but for £20 you can get two or even three full outfits that are fashionable. The two big downsides is that its gets VERY busy and you can be queuing for literally a full hour and because it's so popular there is a good chance you will see someone wearing the same dress on a night out, but for the price of the clothes it's worth it. Recommended. read more

Primark has been an outstanding addition to Manchester shopping. If you need some clothes for work but resent paying out then head here! Of course, Primark's main selling point is its value for moneyit is indeed very very cheap. And that's not to say that there isn't quality available also, I have yet to purchase anything that hasn't lasted for some time. The only downside might be the incredibly long queues at the tillsalthough I guess this cannot be helped. Go and buy all the clothes you will ever needjust be aware that in busy periods some people will not hesitate to grab something off the rails right in front of you! read more

Huge, messy, chaotic store. Brilliant if you don't think aboout why the prices are so low. Good homeware section and it's also brilliant for nightware. No excuse not to look stylish when there is a Primark in town! (Sorry, LOL I got carried away) read more

Primark in mancheter is a great place to shop for clothes becasue it is so cheap. i bought a lovely pink winter coat from here last week for just £10 and it is really warm and waterproof. I think sometimes the quality of the clothes isn't as high as some other shops but that dosen't stop me from shopping in here. Just check what your buying beofre you buy it! It gets very busy in here all the time. The underwear is very reasonable you can buy knicker and bra sets for £3-£4. Primark also do a great range of kids clothes. I think this is ideal as kids grow out of their clothes so quick you don't really want to be spending a lot on there clothes. read more

Primark is a very busy store in the city center of Manchester the store has different sections for mens, ladies, childrens and homeware. the prices are really good and almost of the products are grate and of really good quality. The only problem with primark is that it is so popular so everyone ends up with the sae thing so if yu are looking to be different and not like anyone else then this is not the place for you otherwise it is a really good place to shop. the store is set out very well so you can get through with a pram, at its busyest it is somtimes diffictult to get around as there are so many people. the staff are very friendly and polite. I am pleased with the customer care here. read more

Huge store. Was a bit messy but it was late on Saturday night when we were in. Quite a few bargains to be got.

I like Manchester Primark compared to some of the other branches. I've not been for a while, but last time I went it was relatively tidy and well laid out compared to other Primarks. They sell loads of cheap clothes as is the norm with this brand! Quality however is lacking. read more

The shop is very busy and the ques are very long.. I do not buy many clothes for myself but I do get a lot for my children cos they outgrow them very quickly and with the quality u get from Primark that is enough. I personally do not buy much cos the sizing is small and unsuitable for my age!!! read more

This Primark is absolutely huge and is jam packed full. It has every single type of clothes imaginable to anyone. The staff are very friendly and kind and very helpful. It gets very busy so I suggest going very early or very late. There are lots of changing rooms but they are quite small. read more
