As we wrote at the time, the international fashion chain announced its arrival in Hungary last January. Hungary will become the 6th country in Central and Eastern Europe and the 17th country worldwide to have a Primark store.

Primark has been expanding in the Central European region for several years, opening its first store in Ljubljana, Slovenia, in June 2019, Telex writes. It currently operates 12 stores in Slovenia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania and Slovakia. In addition to the Budapest opening, the chain will continue its expansion plans in Central and Eastern Europe.
