Administrative history

Penneys was founded by Arthur Ryan in Dublin, Ireland in 1969. Penneys trades as Primark outside of Ireland because the name is owned elsewhere by American retailer J. C. Penney. The first UK Primark store opened in Derby in 1973, with the first store in mainland Europe opening in Madrid in 2006 and the first American store opening in Boston in 2015.
