According to GlobalData, 66.8% of UK consumers between 16 and 24 years old are ready to visit non-essential stores once lockdown restrictions are lifted.

The report reveals that many retailers, including John Lewis & Partners and Reiss, are planning to reopen their stores from 15th June to test new safety measures and estimate demand. Meanwhile, Primark is opening all of its branches in England straight away, taking on its learnings from its European locations.

Primark’s stores are expected to attract young consumers who haven’t been able to get their clothing from the retailer online. Nevertheless, many of its city center branches are likely to be quiet as shoppers will be reluctant to travel to shopping locations.

We’ve reported that online fashion retailer Boohoo has acquired PrettyLittleThing.? The company already owned 66% of PrettyLittleThing’s shares, but now Boohoo also owns the other 34% shares.
