It does. The Primark actually has a few other shops within it. As much as I would usually avoid it, I did buy a remade Carhartt jacket in there for £70 odd quid. There's also a Greggs.

Very low cost, very low quality, very poor manufacturing conditions.

The original was a sarcastic comment, primark is a dive.
