Primark‘s brand-new click and collect service has launched inside its Manchester city centre store, and it’s set to make life a lot easier for shoppers.
It’s been a long time coming, but after the fashion retail giant confirmed back in June 2022 that it would be launching a long-awaited shopping service that allows people to order items online and then collect them in stores throughout the North West, Yorkshire, and North Wales the highly-anticipated trial has finally arrived here in Manchester today.
Currently being trialled in 25 stores, the new click and collect service allows customers to shop online from an extensive range of products, and then collect those products in their nominated store on their chosen day.
But how exactly does it work? What can be ordered through the service? And where do I find the service here in Manchester?
Here’s everything you need to know.

How does Primark’s new click and collect service work?
Primark’s new click and collect service is now live, and the retailer says it offers customers “more choice and greater convenience”.
After browsing online and adding items to a virtual shopping basket, customers can then choose a day to collect, up to seven days ahead, from their chosen store.

Orders will be available for collection from two days after they have been placed with a £15 minimum order value and no delivery charge, and customers will be able to collect their order from a dedicated ‘Click + Collect’ desk.
You can also pay for any other items you’ve picked up in store at the desk too.
What can I order?
The trial brings together an extensive range of Primark kids’ products, with customers able to shop from up to 2,000 items across baby, kids, and decorative nursery products and toys – with hundreds of new items and ranges exclusive to the service.

Some of the exclusives include multipacks of bestselling products, as well as new items from Disney and larger nursery decor and toys.
As well as the exclusive ranges, customers of the smaller stores in the trial will also benefit from access to ranges that are normally only found in larger flagship stores, and this means that, on average, customers will have access to twice as many options than they’re usually used to.

Where do I find the new service here in Manchester?
The all-new click and collect service has been set up inside the Manchester city centre store, so we nipped down this morning to check it out for ourselves.
Best accessed from the entrance just off Piccadilly Gardens, rather than the main Market Street entrance, signs advertising the launch of the new click and collect service can be seen as soon as you walk through the door, before heading down the escalator to the lower ground floor where you’ll see the service.
With the bright lime green click and collect branding all lit up and guiding the way, you can’t miss it.
It’s right next to the Primark coffee shop too, so once you’ve collected your items and, most likely, spent a bit of time browsing all the other floors of the massive store, you can grab yourself a nice warm drink to take away with you as well.

Manchester Storm’s ‘own and loan’ scheme returns for 2026/27
Danny Jones
Manchester Storm have relaunched their much-loved ‘own and loan’ programme once again ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Having gone from a cult favourite option for die-hards to an increasingly popular choice among their growing number of supporters, it’s a great way for fans to get their hands on what could go on to be priceless collectables.
Set up over a decade and a half ago, the initiative has gone on to be replicated by multiple clubs in the Elite Ice Hockey League, across the country, and indeed beyond.
For anyone unclear on what exactly this scheme means for them, here’s all you need to know.
The own and loan sponsorship is essentially an opportunity not only to support the club and your favourite player, but to essentially reserve a valuable piece of match-worn memorabilia.
Put simply, fans can buy a squad member’s jersey and then loan it back to them for the season.
The shirt – be it home, away, created for cup tournaments or a special limited-edition sweater (of which MCR Storm have designed many over the years) – will then be worn throughout the course of the campaign before being given back to the owner, i.e. you.
Not just simply buying the shirt, but helping back the team’s talent, it’s one of the most direct ways people can contribute to the club.
The Greater Manchester side pioneered the push for this initiative here in the UK in the early 2010s, and with the local side now set to return to the AO Arena, where their journey began way back in 1995, you can expect plenty to mark the comeback with a special sponsored jersey.
Anyone who purchases an away strip will have their name featured throughout home games for the duration of the season – not a bad gift or way to secure a potential future collectors’ item.
You can see every player available to sponsor and find out all the information you need right HERE.
For regular matchgoers at the ‘Storm Shelter’, we’re sure it’ll be bittersweet to say goodbye to Planet Ice Altrincham, but just how excited are you about heading home to the AO Arena later this year?

League One set for an all-Greater Manchester playoff final as Bolton book trip to Wembley
Danny Jones
It’s official: we’re all set for a fully Greater Manchester League One playoff final as Bolton Wanderers are the latest to secure a return to Wembley against Stockport County.
The resurgent old Lancashire club clinched their spot in the knockout conclusion of the third division with a single strike in the second leg of the semis, and it wasn’t a bad finish, either.
Beating Bradford City 2-0 on aggregate, Bolton will now play familiar regional rivals Stockport, with Wanderers set to clash with County in a decisive derby once again.
Bolton‘s instinctive volley from Chelsea youth product and former Hull City man, Xavier Simons, resulted in some very satisfying limbs at Valley Parade.
The home fans did have plenty to cheer on the night, with efforts from Metcalfe, Power and Wright all either hitting the woodwork or being deflected just past it.
They thought they were level in the tie at one point after Kayden Jackson put the ball in the back of the net, but it was ultimately ruled out.
Agonising stuff for the Bradford supporters to burst into bedlam before the flag was raised for offside.
Many supporters will argue that the key moment came somewhat against the run of play, but The Trotters won’t care one bit as they book another trip down to the capital.
You can watch the rest of the highlights, including those scenes in the away end, down below.
Speaking even before the game, head coach Steven Schumacher told Sky Sports: “It’s a club we believe is bigger than this division, but this division is not easy to get out of.
“The expectation and the demand to get to the Championship is there, and once you’re in the building and you feel the mood when you win games, when you lose games, you can sense that this is a club that is desperate to get out and get to the next level.
“When you look at the size of both Bolton and Bradford and how well they are supported, both clubs are probably too big to be in League One. But that’s where both clubs find themselves, and one of us has got to find our way out of it if we can.”
You’d dare say he can practically smell promotion via the playoffs now; the local side has come quite a way since the lows of administration in 2019 and the bottom tier of the EFL – not without some heartbreaks in previous playoff finals – but could he be the one to get them back where they belong?
In case you missed the action from the other game, you can see more HERE, and to hear Schumacher’s thoughts after the decisive result, look no further…
