SHOPPERS will be pleased to learn that the date for a new Primark to open in the Trafford Centre has been revealed.

The popular clothing brand is set to create more than 300 jobs when its new location opens in the Barton Square section of the shopping centre.

Work on the store has been ongoing for some time but bosses were yet to reveal the official opening date.

Now they have told shoppers the branch will be opening its doors on Friday, March 20.

The new store is part of a £75m redevelopment of Barton Square.

It will take up space on two floors of the Trafford Centre and cover 64,800 sq ft of floor space.
