Socially and environmentally conscious lifestyle brand, Lucy & Yak is pleased to announce the opening of its first outlet in Junction 32.
Located near Castleford in Yorkshire, Junction 32 is a discounted shopping outlet home to over 90 stores featuring a wide array of fashion, homeware, and lifestyle brands. Known for its iconic prints and sustainable clothing made for every body, Lucy & Yak is excited to join Junction 32’s offering. Spanning over 1,545 sq.ft., the famous pink-painted store will welcome its customers and community on September 6th, 2024. With its range of exclusive (Im) perfect Yaks, hidden gems, discounted one-off samples, and more, Lucy & Yak is committed to keeping clothes in circulation and out of landfill — not 100% perfect but still 100% wearable.
Inside, the new store will feature Lucy & Yak’s signature colour palette, creating a vibrant and inviting atmosphere. Access to the shop will be from street level with four changing rooms, one of which will be accessible. Lucy & Yak’s expansion follows the successful launches of its new stores in Bristol, Norwich, Nottingham, Cambridge, Manchester, Cardiff, and Exeter, which have already proven just as popular with the brand’s community as their beloved flagship store in North Laine, Brighton and sustainability flagship store in The Lanes, Brighton.
These ten new stores are part of Lucy & Yak’s ambition to have a greater physical presence across the UK, providing more opportunities for face-to-face interactions with the Yak community. Each shop also aims to act as a Re:Yak PreLoved hub, where customers and community can bring any Lucy & Yak items for recirculating and receive a money-off voucher towards their next pair of Yaks.
“We’ve been on the hunt for the right location to permanently host our (Im) perfect Yaks, where customers can browse the pieces that may not be 100% perfect, but are still 100% wearable. It’s all part of our aim to keep clothing on people and out of landfill. With Barnsley as our true home, it only felt right to open a shop in Yorkshire – we can’t wait to hear what our customers think!” – Co-Founder, Lucy Greenwood.
