PRIMARK'S huge new Monks Cross store is opening tomorrow.

The new store is due to open at 10am.

The opening will come nearly three years after the company first got planning approval for the out-of-town site, in August 2013.

The huge new store will cover more than 57,000 sq m in units formerly occupied by Marks and Spencer, Laura Ashley and Sports Direct.

There will be an official ribbon cutting at 9.30am, before the doors open.

The company has not confirmed an opening date for the smaller Coppergate store, currently under renovations, but in early March planning applications went in for signage on both the city centre and out-of-town locations.
