I can’t believe it’s been over a week since I had honour of attending the Yours store opening in my home town Grimsby. The store is located in Freshney Place Shopping Centre, which conveniently is across the road from my house! So often I have to travel for blog related work, so to be able to nip across the road after dropping Pops off at school was an absolute joy!
I arrived at the store round 9am to find a small queue already formed, including the lovely Emma who had been there since 8am! As we headed towards opening time at 10am there was a huge queue, as I chatted with the women queuing it was apparent how excited the women of Grimsby were about Yours Clothing’s arrival, and how good quality, great value clothing for plus size women was very much missing from the town centre.
As the doors opened the store filled up so much that people were queuing to get in because the shop was just so full!
The Grimsby store is packed full of everything you’d expect from Yours, bright colours, bold prints, value for money basics and in the top right corner there’s even a little Bad Rhino selection for the chaps.
I was honestly so bowled over by how popular the opening was and how excited all the customers were, every customer I spoke to said how pleased they were that we finally had a Yours, and one woman even went as far to say it was like ‘being in heaven’.
To be honest I spent the day making a nuisance of myself, just chatting with all the lovely customers, dishing out unsolicited style advice and generally having fun! The atmosphere was absolutely buzzing, staff and customers alike having a lovely time. I also had the honour of styling the competition winner Kate who attended with her mum, we spent lots of time trying on different outfits and styles and found some beautiful summer pieces for Kate’s wardrobe as a busy mum of two.
Thanks for having me Yours, it was an awesome day!
P.S. Outfit details will be on the blog soon!
