More on Primark
Description from Wikipedia:
Primark (or Penny's) is a clothing retailer, operating in Ireland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain and Portugal. It operates a total of 188 stores with 34 in Ireland, 125 in the UK, 8 in Spain and 1 in the Netherlands, Germany and in Portugal. Whilst the company's main headquarters are based in Ireland where it trades as Penneys, the chain is a subsidiary of Associated British Foods plc (ABF), and is ultimately controlled by the Weston family through Wittington Investments. The company positions itself as marketing fashionable clothing at competitive prices.
In England the name is generally pronounced: /ˈpraɪmɑrk/ . However, in Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland, and Scotland it is usually pronounced IPA: //ˈpriːmɑrk// -mark. While some believe the store to have originally been pronounced -mark, and it is pronounced that way on a Primark corporate video, the company had an intensive annual advertising campaign each Christmas during the 1980s in which the store was referred to on several occasions (throughout the song/jingle) as -mark, although in Ireland this lyric was dubbed over as 'Penneys'.
