British clothing alterations business, The Zip Yard will open its first store in the Nottingham’s Toton Tesco Extra on 14th September. The opening marks a new partnership which is being trialled in Tesco Extra stores, offering shoppers access to repair, alter, upcycle or restyle clothes and home accessories so they fit better and last longer.

Neluka Dunning, Owner of The Zip Yard UK Master Franchise commented,

“We’re delighted to be working with Tesco to provide Zip Yard stores within the Toton Tesco Extra store. Providing The Zip Yard services to a wider audience in Nottingham will give shoppers the opportunity to bring in their garments for alterations and repair rather than throwing them away.

Clothing has the fourth-largest impact on the environment after housing, transport and food and results in almost £140 million worth of clothes being thrown away each year – mostly to landfills. Wearing something for an extra nine months can reduce its carbon footprint by 20-30%.

Our company mission is to give as many people as possible the opportunity to extend the life of their clothes and the Tesco Extra Zip Yard stores will do just that. From simple zip repairs to trouser alterations and wedding dress and suit tailoring, we will be offering a personal service and exceptional quality finish to every customer and our on-site fitting rooms will allow for professional tailoring.”

The Zip Yard at The Tesco Extra store at Toton (Nottingham) will be open six days a week and have fitting rooms on-site for tailoring services.

Opening Hours:

Tuesday -Friday

10am – 6pm

Saturday

10am – 5pm

Sunday

11am – 4pm

The Zip Yard is always looking for new franchisees to join the company.
