Primark preps for 2nd U.S. store opening
 Primark will open its second US store here next month with 58 cash registers and 93 fitting rooms. It is the first of Primark stores to occupy space leased from Sears, which have leased space to Primark in seven of its stores.

According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, the plethora of cash registers is in place to speed check-out – the accelerated process intended to offset Primark’s lack of e-commerce in this country. To fashion the right merchandise mix for the market, Primark hired executives from Macy's, Forever 21, H&M, and Uniqlo, according to the report.
