Farewell Westgate, hello Primark

The Stockport Express has the news that Stockport’s Westgate Department Store is to close later this year, with a Primark store opening up on the site at 9am on 6th September 2011.

Although  a little sad, I can’t say I’m totally surprised.  The store’s been looking fairly tired for a while now, and the current owners admit that, whilst still profitable, it isn’t generating enough money for a substantial redevelopment.

Can’t say I am suprised it is closing . However once it closes then there will be less places for ladies of a certain age and size to buy decent clothes in Stockport.
But I can see the reason of Primark opening and it will attract yourger people to Stockport.

I am please that Primark will be opening in Stockport, although I do like the Jane Norman store in Chestergate and oftern buy some mens clothing from there too, will the stores inside be re-locating to other shops in Stockport. When in 2011 is Primark due to open?
