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.

Tommy Fury vs Darren Till press conference descends into foul-mouthed chaos
Danny Jones
The first press conference ahead of Tommy Fury vs Darren Till was held on Tuesday evening and it didn’t take long for the whole thing to descend into absolute bedlam.
Having only been confirmed on Sunday, Fury vs Till will be a homecoming bout for the Wythenshawe-born fighter who is set to headline the first-ever boxing match at Manchester’s Co-op Live arena.
With the date set for 18 January, the pre-fight build-up and media frenzy are growing fast and things have already come to ahead in just the first meeting between the two fighters in London this week.
Clearly sharing plenty of bad blood already, while Tommy and Till were engaging in the usual fighting talk, the family patriarch, John Fury, decided to interject and it was at this point that things boiled over.
‼️ Tommy Fury vs Darren Till press conference descends into chaos as Till tells John Fury: "Shut up, you haven't been seen since Oleksandr Usyk battered Tyson."
As you can see, amidst the various insults being thrown around regarding intelligence, boxing ability, Tommy’s older brother Tyson being “battered by [Oleksandr] Usyk”, ‘Big John’ then launches a bottle of water across the table at Till, sparking a hot-tempered on-stage skirmish.
The lengthy exchange features as many expletives as you could imagine, with 31-year-old Darren Till also threatening that he will “bladder” both Tommy and his more established heavyweight sibling Tyson, labelling the entire Fury family “shithouses” as they walk out of the London press conference.
A mixed martial artist by trade who has competed at both welterweight and middleweight in the UFC, Till assured that even if the boxing match isn’t going his way on the night, he will kick [him] square in [the] face”, adding that he’s a “proper fighter” and that Tommy, on the other hand, has no power.
YouTube turned musician and occasional boxer, KSI – the founder of the Misfits promotion who is putting on the event and who Fury beat back in October last year – can also be heard whooping from centre stage and shouting, “Get your tickets!”
Even after the mini-brawl is separated, the foul-mouthed back and forth continues for some time. You can see another angle here:
Press conference aftermath 🤯@darrentill2 was going IN on the Fury’s 😳
This isn’t the first time things have boiled over at a Fury press conference; in fact, it’s not even the first time John Fury, 59, has found himself in the very eye of the storm.
Meanwhile, the youngest Fury son is preparing first his first fight in over a year, having nearly joined this year’s I’m a Celeb lineup instead.
Tickets for the now highly-anticipated boxing match at Co-op Live, just the second combat sports event to have been held at the arena, are on sale now – you can grab yours HERE. It’s going to be a feisty one.
Festive Grinch-themed cafes to pop up inside Greater Manchester Primark stores

Festive Grinch-themed cafes are popping up inside two of Primark’s biggest Greater Manchester stores in the run-up to Christmas.
As the temperatures turn colder by the day, the nights draw in, and the most wonderful time of the year nears closer and closer, it won’t be long before it’s time to snuggle up in our comfies and pop on the first Christmas film of the year – and for some of us, there’s a good chance that first film of choice will be The Grinch.
Whether you prefer the 2000 fantasy comedy starring Jim Carey, or the 2018 animated reboot with Benedict Cumberbatch, it’s undoubtedly a real family favourite.
To celebrate everyone’s favourite grumpy green grouch, Primark has teamed up with Dr. Seuss once again on a Grinch-tastic collaboration.

Shoppers can now head to their nearest Primark store to find the largest-ever Grinch collection, with something for the whole family, as well as great gifting options said to be “ideal for getting into the anti-Christmas spirit”.
There’s Grinch pyjamas and slippers for both adults and kids, a Grinch ‘Onesie’ that’s sure to make people green with envy, Grinch drinks cups and mugs, a selection of loungewear and Christmas jumpers for festive dressing, and so much more, as well as whole host of Grinch-inspired outfits and toys for your four-legged friends too.
As part of Primark’s aim to offer affordable choices for everyone, prices for the Grinch collection start at just £1 for accessories, and go up to £24 for adult clothing.
If the return of the Grinch collection wasn’t exciting enough as it is, the all-new Grinch cafes – which are popping up in Primark on Market Street in Manchester city centre, as well as Primark in Trafford Palazzo – are bound to be hit with fans of the furry character.
There’s everything from green waffles and themed milkshakes, to festive toasties, hot drinks, and more on the menu.
With Greater Manchester Grinch cafes set to be open until the end of December, Sarah Jackson – who is the Director of Licensing at Primark, said: “We’re so excited to roll out our amazing cafe experience across a number of our UK locations, bringing a sprinkle of mischief to our customers this festive season.
“Whether you’re stopping in for a sweet treat or stocking up on pyjamas and gifts for the whole family, we have everything you need to make it a truly unforgettable Grinch-mas.”
