Primark is set to open a brand new high-street store in 2026 as it continues the expansion of its popular click and collect service. The fashion retailer is reportedly taking over the lease at the old Wilko store in Weymouth. The Wilko site closed its doors last October after the high street chain fell into administration.
According to a report by the Dorset Echo, work on the unit on Westham Road will begin within the next few months and the store is set to open in early 2026. Conor Walsh, Director of South West and North East at Primark told the Dorset Echo: "We are pleased to confirm we plan to open a new store in Weymouth located in Westham Road, taking over the former Wilko building. Work will begin in store over the coming months, and we hope to open our doors in early.
