Plus-size women’s fashion comes to Bolton

Plus-size fashion retailer Yours Clothing is opening its latest new store today, (September 14) in Bolton.

The opening in The Market Place shopping centre has created seven jobs.

Yours Clothing provides a selection of plus-size womenswear, in sizes from 16 to 36.

This new store will be one of 146 across the UK, and internationally.

The fashion brand plans to open more than 30 stores this year.

The focus will be on stores in Germany, while the expansion strategy also includes stand alone menswear stores.

A spokeswoman for the company said: ” We are thrilled to be opening a store in Bolton and are hugely passionate towards rapidly growing our stores within the UK, along with an international focus this year.”

The Peterborough-based company was founded more than 20 years ago by Andrew Killingsworth, on a market stall in East Anglia.

Andrew was buying and selling ladies clothing and in one parcel he bought was a collection of plus-size womenswear.

The clothing flew out and he quickly recognised the demand for affordable fashion in plus-sizes.

As well as more than 140 UK stores, the business also trades from 12 sites in the Middle East.
