Primark shopper numbers not impacted by Omicron so far -finance chief

LONDON (Reuters) – The emergence of the Omicron variant of coronavirus has so far not had much impact on shopper numbers in Primark stores, the finance chief of owner Associated British Foods said on Friday.

“In terms of the Omicron variant we haven’t really seen much of an effect on footfall,” John Bason told Reuters after the group updated on trading.

Primark trades from 400 stores in Europe and the United States but does not have an online operation.
