    You know what ive been thinking about this, i'm not convinced tbh, i dont think its really going to happen, i mean have they published/advertised this anywhere or is it just hearsay, i cant see them opening a brand new shop to let it get basically ransacked!! imagine the mess at closing time!

    Is it because they have poached their staff from Poundland but haven't had time to train them?

    The guys at HUKD have confirmed this as a HOAX deal. Please feel free to check. The same thing happened at the London opening in 07. thousands of people turned up hearing rumours of everything being £1 that simply wasnt true.

    Does anyone remember the opening of Primark in Oxford Street, London? Search youtube to see the mayhem!
    There were rumours circulating that everything would be £1. All completely untrue but it didn't stop loads of gullible people rushing the premises and several were injured.
    Think about it people - a Primark opening will be popular anyway and they have no need to sell everything for a £1. No wonder they are not publicly denying this rumour as it all adds to the hype.

  • You can also call the rock press office who will confirm this as a hoax.

    How could anyone be so silly as to believe everything in a shop like this is £1?

    You think they are going to give away £10/20/30 value items for £1?! Perhaps a reality check is needed for some people.

    My parnter works there, and it's NOT true
    Who started this rumour? Primark I think! It's great publicity. Photos get taken of people jostling to get in and it gets in the papers and on the news!

    Never mind people get trampled on in the rush
