PLUS-size fashion retailer Yours Clothing is to open its first Poole branch next week.

Its branch in the High Street, opposite Superdrug, will open its doors on Thursday, November 23, at 10am.

The opening of the shop will create seven jobs and the retailer is still recruiting for a supervisor, keyholder and three sales assistants.

The shop stocks ladies’ fashions in sizes 16-36, including clothing, lingerie, footwear and accessories.

Opening day will see goodie bags handed out to the first customers through the door.

There will be a chance to win a £50 gift card as well as a chance to win a £100 personal shopping experience in the Poole branch via the Yours Clothing Facebook page, which goes live on Monday, November 20.

Yours Clothing, which describes itself as Britain’s fastest-growing plus size fashion retailer, already has 126 stores in the UK, 12 internationally and a shopping website.

It offers a next day ‘click and collect’ online and in branches, and sells on eBay and Amazon.

A spokesman said: “We are very excited and passionate towards rapidly growing our stores and for our 127th Yours Clothing store to open its doors in Poole. We can’t wait to welcome our first customers through the doors.

“Our nearest store in the surrounding area is the new Boscombe store which is just seven miles away, so we are delighted to be bringing the brand to the south coast of England and filling this gap within our store portfolio.”
