Primark seeks managers for new Rome store.

Primark, the Irish low-cost fashion chain, is set to open an outlet in Rome in 2020.

The company is currently seeking managers for its "5,000-sqm store" at a "new shopping centre in Laurentina", according to the advert.

Local media reports that Primark is expected to open at Maximo, near the EUR area of south Rome, by April 2020.

Primark's launch in Rome, which follows years of rumours, comes as the company prepares to open its second store in Milan on 4 December.

Since launching as Penneys in Dublin in 1969, the Primark chain now has 350 stores in 13 European countries as well as the US.
