Major Fashion Retailer Returns to UK High Street After Closing All Stores 6 Years Ago
The plus-size brand is now stocked in more than 50 Yours Clothing locations, with 36 stores getting permanent Evans-branded sections.
- After a six-year hiatus, the plus-size retailer Evans has officially returned to the UK high street as dedicated concessions inside over 50 Yours Clothing locations across the UK and Ireland.
- The brand closed all stores in December 2020 after parent company Arcadia Group entered administration, ending 90 years of history since Evans's establishment in 1930.
- Out of the 50-plus locations, 36 feature permanent, dedicated Evans-branded sections. A Yours Clothing spokesperson told Fashion Network that "Plus-size women are among the most loyal fashion shoppers in the UK."
- This return contrasts sharply with a difficult year for UK retail, where major brands Bennett and Claire closed all stores, while Las Iguanas and Poundstretcher have "fallen into financial difficulties."
- While many retailers struggle, selective growth continues for major names like Aldi and Superdrug, which have announced new store openings for 2026 despite widespread closures across the sector.
