The grand opening of Bury St Edmunds' new Primark will take place this week.
The budget fashion retailer is set to open its doors for the first time in the former Debenhams store in the Arc Shopping Centre at 10am on Wednesday.
Excitement for the store has been growing since Primark announced it would be opening in the west Suffolk town back in 2022.

The store was originally planned to open at the end of 2023 but delays meant the opening date got pushed back.
Philippa Nibbs, Primark director of sales UK, London and the South East, said: “Since we first announced plans to open the store it's been great to see such a positive reaction from the local community and we’re thrilled to confirm the date we will be opening the doors to the people of Bury St Edmunds."
Everyman Cinema has opened in the basement of the former Debenhams building with two screens and room for 228 people.
A third unit could still open inside the former Debenhams store as a unit under where Primark will be was put up for rent in February.
London-based property agent Brasier Freeth is advertising a long-term lease on a 10,850 square foot site.
It would cost £125,000 per annum.
