Coronavirus pandemic: Primark, Marks & Spencer’s among shops back in business as lockdown eased in England

Hindustan Times  

After 83 days of coronavirus lockdown, non-essential stores in England reopen their doors on Monday, hoping to get the tills ringing again and start a long road to recovery. The British Retail Consortium reckons the lockdown has cost non-food stores 1.8 billion pounds a week in lost revenues. Fashion chain Primark, which with no online offer has not taken a penny in Britain during the lockdown, plans to open all its 153 stores in England. Researcher Springboard said the number of shoppers in early June indicated “a huge amount” of pent-up demand among consumers for shopping in stores.
