Associated British Foods Plc is going to close the 189 Primark stores across the United Kingdom starting Sunday night after the cancellation of all new orders from suppliers.
This move comes as demand shrinks due to the coronavirus outbreak.
All new clothing orders from suppliers from factories in India and Bangladesh have been cancelled. However, Primark shall continue to honour orders already shipped or delivered to the warehouses and stores.
