‭ Lucy & Yak continues expansion in Chester‬

Socially and environmentally conscious lifestyle brand Lucy & Yak is excited to announce the opening of‬ its twelfth store, in Chester, Cheshire.‬

‭ Located on Chester’s scenic high street, Lucy & Yak’s new store will open its doors on Friday, 25th July‬ 2025. With a softer, more muted pink shopfront that compliments the city’s historic charm, the space‬‭ offers a gentle update to their signature “little pink shop” while staying true to its colourful identity.‬

Inside, customers will have the opportunity to explore Lucy & Yak’s latest releases alongside its core‬ collections. The interior features a pastel colour palette and wooden furnishings, creating a warm and‬‭ inviting atmosphere. In keeping with the brand’s focus on supporting creatives, Lucy & Yak is working‬ with a local mural artist, soon to be announced, to bring a one-of-a-kind mural painting to the walls‬ behind the till point. The store is fully accessible from street level and includes five thoughtfully designed‬ changing rooms and one accessible changing room.‬

Lucy & Yak’s expansion follows the successful launches of new stores in Bristol, Norwich, Nottingham, Cambridge, Manchester, Cardiff, Exeter, Canterbury, as well as the first outlet in Castleford - all of which‬‭ have proven just as popular with the brand's community as the beloved flagship store in North Laine,‬‭ Brighton and the sustainability-focused flagship store in The Lanes, Brighton.‬

These twelve stores reflect Lucy & Yak’s ambition to build a stronger physical presence across the UK,‬ offering more opportunities for face-to-face connection with the Yak community. Each shop also serves‬‭ as a Re:Yak hub, supporting the brand’s circularity initiatives - including a buyback scheme called‬‭ PreLoved - and providing space for customers to recycle, repair or upcycle their clothes‬‭.

We can’t wait to open the doors to our new shop in Chester, growing our northern presence further.

The‬‭ new space will offer another hub for creativity and community, giving us a chance to engage with our‬ customers in person - we’ve absolutely loved meeting you all. I’m also really excited that we’ll be working‬‭ with a local mural artist to bring more community creativity to the space - we’ll be announcing who we’re‬‭ working with very soon. The teams are currently working hard to bring more localised events and‬ community meet ups to our little pink shops, which you can keep an eye on on our website - there’s lots‬‭ of exciting things to come!
