Store opens after blaze

MORE than 1,000 shoppers queued overnight to be the first in the doors of the new Belfast Primark.

The city centre store was destroyed by fire in the historic Bank Buildings in August.

The blaze has caused major disruption to Belfast’s retail sector.

Primark spokesman Ben Mansfield said: “As well as opening our doors, today is about thanking many people for their support and co-operation.”
