News Reporter 15:28, 31 May 2025Updated 15:46, 31 May 2025 During her first visit to a UK Primark, an American tourist was amazed by her experience. Popular for its affordable fashion


offerings, the British retail chain has made a name for itself not just in the UK, but also across Europe and the States, boasting sections dedicated to home goods, beauty products and


fashion items for all genders and ages. Regular Primark shoppers often favour the store for specific items like pyjamas. Florida native Caiti Mackenzie documented her wander into the beloved


store with a TikTok video whilst on a visit to the UK. In her video, she shared: "We're here in England, I've heard so much about Primark but I've never been so


let's check it out." She compared her initial reaction of the Bath branch to a combination of two iconic American retailers, stating: "Target meets TJ Maxx." Caiti, used


to a vast selection of large discount department stores back home, including clothes, electronics, groceries and accessories, found Primark's prices pleasantly surprising, pointing out


a £3.50 cami top as an example of the bargains available. While exploring the store's variety of beachwear, she discovered items she described as "right up my alley."


Continually impressed, she took note of the fashionable and vibrant summer selections, commenting: "They have cute colours and cute clothes in here." During her exploration of the


shop, Caiti was delighted to discover many products resembling those from high end brands. Article continues below She noted parallels between Primark offerings and items like Birkenstock


shoes, a CC cream akin to IT cosmetics and a makeup brush similar to that e.l.f Cosmetics. Marvelling at the breadth of the store's offerings, Caiti exclaimed: "Just when I think


it ends, it keeps going. This store is huge." She browsed through various accessories and beauty products, commenting: "I just like looking and seeing what the difference is in all


these places like there's so much cool stuff similar to US stuff." After finding some budget-friendly heatless curlers, she highlighted their affordability compared to other


popular brands. Wrapping up her Primark visit, the impressed American tourist concluded: "Primark, you're cool, I like you." Even though she couldn't buy anything as her


suitcase space was limited, she was "glad" to just have the opportunity to look around. Article continues below The TikTok video recounting her Primark trip has sparked over 200


comments as viewers chimed in with their thoughts on the retailer. One viewer remarked: "We have some in the tri state area!! We love them!" While another confessed: "Primark


is what my bank account hate(s). I love Primark half my wardrobe is Primark, lol." A third warned: "Careful when Primark shopping, you pick up items £2 here £5 there, get to check


out and bill come out too £100, it's easy to go overboard with Primark."
