Huge queues outside Primark stores as non-essential shops open for first time since lockdown

Huge queues outside Primark stores as non-essential shops open for the first time since lockdown! Non-essential shops are allowed to reopen as part of the government’s second phase in the roadmap to easing lockdown.

These measures include retail stores, in addition to other businesses such as hardware and homeware stores, charity shops, dress fitters and museum gift shops, as long as they adhere to social distancing guidelines.

On Monday morning, many people eager to shop, headed to Primark branches across the country, a couple of months after the retail giant announced a drop in sales from £650m a month to zero.
