flag Primark reports a slight sales increase despite opening 15 new stores and facing a tougher European market.

flag Primark, owned by Associated British Foods (ABF), reported a 1% sales increase over the half-year to September 13, despite "consumer caution." flag Strong womenswear sales and favorable weather in the UK helped offset a 2% drop in like-for-like sales. flag The company opened 15 new stores, including two in the UK, and saw robust sales in the US but weaker performance in Europe due to a "more subdued consumer environment." flag ABF's grocery sales are expected to match the previous year, with losses in the sugar business due to the Vivergo plant closure.
