Primark has quickly become the royalty of European throw-away fashion on the high street over the past 5 years.
And now it seems that this penny-pinching pound store has had a high class foray into the German market with its new flagship store on the Waterfront in Bremen.
One of the largest stores in the new shopping complex in Bremen, the single floor has not limited the retailer from fully making use of its height and length after installation of some impressive in-store displays.
Earmarked as the latest in Primark’s “concept stores”, the interior is proof of this bold claim. Intended to be clean and smart, the shop fittings have been designed to live up to the very German notion of efficiency.
A vast atrium allows all departments of the store to be visually accessible on entry, the plenitude of space enhanced by an abundance of mirrors and clever accents of floral wallpaper in contrast to the minimalist décor throughout the rest of the store.

London’s most glamorous department store had yet another face lift late last month when 450 metres of uniquely steam-bent wood wrapped and weaved its way around the entrance and aisles of Harvey Nichols.
Designed by wood-bender Charlie Whinney, this latest offering to Knightsbridge’s store displays is the largest and most high profile project he’s worked on to date.
The Sloane ranger haven’s all-natural makeover not only extends through the store but outbreaks in to the shop fittings as matching coiled lampshades and elaborately steamed wooden headpieces for the store’s mannequins.
This highly innovative approach to retail display only enhances the department store’s reputation for fascinating window and in-store displays.
So if you’re in London, pop along to Sloane Street to catch sight of this wooden wonder. It’s there for six weeks before touring the country’s other Harvey Nichols’ window displays in Bristol, Dublin, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Leeds and Manchester.
Cupcakes at the ready; here’s a challenge any self-respecting bakery would be up for…
The idea is that cupcake consumption is promoted best by the lovely bakers who make them, so who better to front National Cupcake Week than bakers’ shops?
The only stipulation is that the powder pink icing themed poster is displayed proudly, other than that the creative inspiration is down to the individual!
Oven gloves come off as bakers across the country dress up their shop fittings with cupcake themed display stands and extravagant window displays, all in an effort to win two tickets to the Baking Industry Awards 2010.
Not our idea of a fantastic prize, but just think of all the cakes you’ll need to create the perfect window display.
You might need to do some quality control testing/eating in the process to be in with a real chance of winning, but we think it’s worth it!
