I have heard quite a few people saying this. I agree it is a bit cringeworthy.
Even worse are people who pronounce it as Preemark :K:

LOL it takes more effort saying it that way!
I've never, ever heard or heard of this phrase. I'm glad I'm not where you are...
I hear it all the time, OP!
I don't really get annoyed by it, but I just question why they would call it that anyway?
Once or twice as a joke, would be OK. ...but when they call it Primarni all the time :erm:

I work in a Primark on Saturdays.

One of our supervisors says Primani as a joke. She goes 'there's nothing like a bit o' Primani now is there...'

we find it funny.

Did you for a second consider that it being annoying was the point? That the people calling it Primani are taking the piss out of people that do shop there? I mean that's why I call it that...
Never heard that....
