New Primark To Create 150 Retail Jobs In Stafford

In a move which will create over 150 retail jobs in Stafford, Primark has become the latest retailer to announce it will open a store at the county town’s new Riverside Development in October.

Primark will join retailers H&M, Marks & Spencer and River Island and restaurant chains such as Chiquito, Coast to Coast, Nando’s and Prezzo at the new complex when it is starts to complete from August onwards.

Between them, the other tenants have created 450 Stafford jobs by opening stores and eateries at the 19,000 square foot £100 million development, meaning that over 600 vacancies will have been advertised at the Riverside Development by the time all of the business have opened their doors to customers.

Shabnam Bashir, a spokesman for Primark confirmed that recruitment was already underway to fill 151 retail jobs at their latest store in Stafford.

Leader of Stafford Borough Council, Councillor Patrick Farrington, commented on the fact that Primark was creating around a quarter of the jobs which will be up for grabs at the Riverside Development:

“Obviously these are impressive figures but this is actually part of a wider jobs boost, which is even more exciting. The Riverside Development is set to create around 600 jobs and Primark is just one part of that initially.”

“I would hope that the Primark jobs are taken by local people, that would be the ideal situation. While this and the rest of the Riverside Development will provide a boost to the economy, it is really the people of Stafford who are going to win if they get the jobs that will be on offer. It is superb news that so many jobs are being created at a flagship store for Riverside,” added Councillor Farrington.
