A PLUS sized clothing brand is set to open its new store this week, creating seven jobs in the town centre.

Fashion store Yours Clothing, offering sizes 16 to 36, is set to open in the former Lavitta shop in the Hardshaw Centre on Friday, September 22 at 10am.

Seven jobs including store manager, flexi key holders and a sales assistant jobs are being advertised.

The store will offer fashionable clothing, lingerie, nightwear, footwear and accessories. Goodie bags will be handed out on Friday to the first customers through the door – who will also have a chance of winning a £50 gift card.

A spokesman for the company said: “We are very excited to be rapidly growing our store portfolio and for our 123rd Yours Clothing store to open its doors in St Helens

“Our nearest stores in the surrounding area are around ten miles away, currently in Wigan and Runcorn so we are delighted to now be filling the gap in between.”
