Primark Launches Weekly Same-Day Repairs Pop-Up at Manchester Market Street

The subsidised trial gauges whether low-cost in‑store repairs can shift shoppers toward keeping clothes longer.

Overview

  • The partnership with The Seam runs every Friday from September 26 to December 19, operating 9am to 5pm at the Manchester Market Street store.
  • Simple repairs and alterations are completed the same day, with typical drop-off times of around 20 to 30 minutes or collection later that day.
  • Prices for basic services range from £3 to £10, with Primark subsidising costs to improve affordability.
  • Bookings are available via Eventbrite, while walk-ins are accepted subject to capacity, and the service is located on the lower ground floor next to Click & Collect.
  • Primark frames the pop-up within its Love It For Longer effort, citing WRAP research on cost and access barriers to repair, with results informing any broader rollout.
