Primark stores in the North East have been 'snubbed' after the high street giant announced the list of additional UK stores that would be getting a click-and-collect service, and didn't include one from the region.
On Tuesday (September 17), the big-name brand revealed the next 54 stores that would be getting the Click and Collect service, joining the 57 that already offer it in its stores.
However, most notably, shoppers in the North East have been feeling left out after Primark hasn't added one store from the region so far.
Despite announcing that the Click & Collect service will be available to shoppers in over half of Primark's stores nationwide before Christmas - those hoping that they could use it in the North East will have to hope it adds it in 2025.
For those angered by this detail from the fashion brand, don't worry.
In April this year, when Primark first revealed Click and Collect, it said that the service would be rolled out across all stores in England, Scotland and Wales by the end of 2025.
And once it is rolled out in the North East, here's what you can look forward to.
The range available on the Primark Click & Collect service has been expanded to now include menswear and homeware alongside women’s and kidswear.

UK Retail Director at Primark, Kari Rodgers, said: “It’s been fifty years since we first opened our doors in Derby to bring affordable fashion to the British high street and expanding Click & Collect is another way we are giving people more reasons to visit their local high street and Primark.
"We know our customers love its convenience and the opportunity to access our wider ranges typically only found in larger stores.
"We’re thrilled to reveal the new stores to offer the service and extend access to our ranges even further before the busy Christmas shopping period begins.”
