Associated British Foods announced that its Primark division will introduce home delivery services in the United Kingdom, marking a shift from the retailer’s long‑standing resistance to online delivery. Primark had previously avoided home delivery, maintaining that the service was not economically viable under its low‑price business model. The company currently operates a Click & Collect service in the UK. AB Foods said that Primark’s digital development, including the success of Click & Collect, and changes in the online market have created an opportunity for profitable growth through home delivery. To support the launch, Primark acquired a highly‑automated fulfillment facility located in Sheffield, northern England. AB Foods also noted that it plans to spin off Primark next year.
Primark to Launch UK Home Delivery Service After Years of Resistance
The discount retailer, owned by Associated British Foods, will begin offering home delivery in the UK, reversing its long-held stance that the service was not viable for its low-price model. The move follows the success of its click‑and‑collect offering and the acquisition of an automated fulfillment centre in Sheffield.
