The first of the new eight stores will open in Rome, within the Roma Est Shopping Centre.

The retailer hopes to have new store openings in Catania, Sicily, at the Centro Sicilia Shopping Centre, and Chieti, Abruzzo, within the Megalò Shopping Centre, by the end of this year.

The remaining five stores are scheduled to open late next year in Grugliasco, Turin, in Shopville Le Gru; Casalecchio di Reno, Bologna, in Shopville Gran Reno; Marcianise, Caserta, in the Campania Shopping Centre; Marghera, Venice, at the Nave De Vero Shopping Centre; and Milan, on Via Torino.

The Milan location will also house Primark’s Italian regional office.

Despite lockdowns and trading restrictions in all of the global markets it trades in due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Primark has still managed to open six new stores in France, Spain, the US and Italy in the 27 week period to the end of February.

Primark also plans to open 15 new stores over the next six months in Spain, the US, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Poland and Czechia.

The expansion plans mean an additional net 700,000sq ft of selling space is expected to be added in Primark’s current financial year.

This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label.

The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...

"Since opening our doors in 2017, we have pushed for the best guest-experience possible — that's why our dough is 100 percent naturally leavened, that's why we have a purpose-built 400-square-foot pick-up and delivery area, and that's why we’ve launched a direct-to-consumer subscription-based ecommerce platform,” said Founder & CEO Ali Khan Lalani. “In 2020, providing the best guest experience means General Assembly Pizza has to be more than a restaurant.
