Mansfield Primark is reopening on Monday - what changes to expect

Primark will be re-opening all of its 153 stores in England on 15 June, following the recent announcement by the UK Government.

Bosses have revealed the measures they will be putting in place to make sure their customers and staff are safe in Mansfield.

Primark CEO, Paul Marchant, said: “We have really missed our customers and we are delighted to be back on 15 June and able to provide them with the quality, affordable products they love from Primark.

“While it might take a little longer to get into store, once inside, customers will find all their favourite Primark products and plenty of choice as usual. We have worked hard to make sure that clear signage and extra help will be there to guide them through the changes we have made to allow for social distancing.

“We are also asking customers to respect the measures we have put in place to help ensure shopping at Primark is an enjoyable, safe experience for everyone.”

Primark will be putting rigorous health and safety measures in place in all stores, including a strict social distancing protocol, personal protection for employees and customers and increased in-store cleaning.

The store will be limiting the number of customers allowed in store at any one time to allow for the appropriate distance in between customers and employees.

There will be ear signage and floor decals, as well as dedicated employees who are responsible for managing queues at tills and entrances to stores.

Additional security staff will help customers follow social distancing measures while queueing to enter.

Frequent tannoy announcements are made in store reminding customers to adhere to social distancing measures.

Reconfiguring queuing system at till points will allow for social distancing.

Primark has have temporarily closed off fitting rooms, customer toilets and cafe and beauty concessions in stores which have them. We have increased personal protection for employees and customers:

Hand sanitiser stations will be made available at the entrance and on the shop floor and back of house for employee and customer use

Every second till is closed, in order to leave appropriate space between customers and between employees. Perspex screens have been installed on open tills to protect customers and employees.

Face masks and gloves are available to all employees if they wish to use them.

Customers are asked to sanitise their hands upon entry. Dedicated employees are on hand to assist customers if needed

They ha e increased the frequency and intensity of in-store cleaning and invested significantly in increasing the frequency and rigour of store cleaning policy giving particular attention to high frequency touchpoints such as tills, escalators, lifts, and employee areas in back of house.

A deep clean of each store is carried out before re-opening
