Primark, the low-budget British clothing chain, intends to enter the US market with a first store opening next year in Boston, its parent group has announced.

“We will be taking Primark to the north-east of the USA with the opening of a number of stores, the first of which we expect to begin trading towards the end of 2015,” Charles Sinclair, chairman of Primark-owner Associated British Foods, said in a statement on Wednesday.

Headquartered in Dublin, Primark operates out of 271 stores spread across Western Europe.
