Northern Ireland's newest Primark store is set to open "in the coming months" as its new home undergoes a massive transformation and rebrand.
Work is well underway at Fairhill Shopping Centre in Ballymena for the relocation of the popular retailer from its current home in the neighbouring Tower Centre in the town.
Owners of the Fairhill have announced they are now also commencing an extensive internal revamp and branding project, marking a further significant investment into the future of the centre.

The multi-million-pound transformation underscores Fairhill’s commitment to enhancing the shopping experience for its customers and solidifying its place amongst the region’s premier retail destinations.
It will include new flooring throughout the centre, state-of-the-art lighting solutions, contemporary design enhancements to elevate its overall visual appeal, enhanced storefronts and a comprehensive brand refresh which will include a new logo design.
The announcement comes ahead of the opening of the landmark Primark store this year and will culminate a near £10m investment by the local owners.
Ryan Walker, a director of Magmel (Ballymena) Limited owner of Fairhill Shopping Centre said, “ We are really pleased with the pace of developments at Fairhill and are particularly excited to announce this latest significant investment.
"By Q4 of 2025, we will have successfully repositioned Fairhill back onto the list of must-visit retail destinations in Northern Ireland. We have some exciting tenant announcements to make in the coming months and there is a real sense of excitement of what lies ahead for Fairhill.
"We really appreciate our customer’s patience and cooperation over the last year which has involved significant construction projects and at times, some associated disruption. ”
The works are scheduled to commence in March and are anticipated to be completed in the coming months.
The redevelopment project is set to unfold in carefully planned phases to ensure minimal disruption to shoppers and retailers.
Fairhill’s management team will work closely with all stakeholders to maintain the centre’s operations and continue delivering the high-quality shopping experience customers expect.
