The new Primark store set to open at Bluewater will be massive, if this photo is anything to go on.

Residents have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Bluewater's Primark since it was announced last year.

News of the budget retailer's arrival at the shopping centre was met with delight by shoppers.

A post on the 'Eltham, SE9' with the above picture attracted a lot of attention from excited members, garnering 75 comments and over 1,300 shares.

However residents will have to continue to contain their excitement as there has been no date set for its grand opening.

A Primark spokeswoman said: "Primark’s new store in Bluewater is scheduled for completion in 2019 and will create over 400 jobs.

"The new store will showcase two floors of fashion over 46,000 sq ft of retail space and will feature the latest trends in women’s, men’s and children’s fashions including footwear, accessories as well as lingerie, beauty and homeware."
