The reason the company is extending the opening hours is to help reduce queues, spread demand and give customers more time to shop safely.

Primark chief executive Paul Marchant said: ‘Safety remains at the front of our minds.

‘We have extended opening hours across almost all of our stores to help meet demand safely but we’re also asking our customers to keep up the support and spirit they showed last year, particularly if queuing outside or in-store.’
