Clothing has the fourth-largest impact on the environment after housing, transport and food and results in almost \u00a3140 million worth of clothes being thrown away each year \u2013 mostly to landfills. Wearing something for an extra nine months can reduce its carbon footprint by 20-30% and we hope shoppers will be encouraged to bring in their garments for alterations and repair rather than throwing them away.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Our company mission is to give as many people as possible the opportunity to extend the life of their clothes and the Tesco Extra Zip Yard stores will do just that. From simple zip repairs to trouser alterations and wedding dress and suit tailoring, we will be offering a personal service and exceptional quality finish to every customer and our on-site fitting rooms will allow for professional tailoring.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Zip Yard\u00a0franchise opened its first store within the\u00a0Stretford (Manchester) Tesco Extra\u00a0on\u00a010-Aug-21 and in Nottingham\u2019s Toton Tesco Extra on 14-Sep-21 These openings with Tesco mark a new partnership which is being trialled in these stores, offering shoppers easy access to repairs, alterations, upcycling or restyling for their clothes and home accessories, so they fit better [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14439,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[104,1515],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-retail-franchises","category-the-zip-yard"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/TZY-Tesco-FranchiseLocal.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14438"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14438\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
