Lucy & Yak has hinted it will soon be launching a store in Chester.

The independent "people-focused" brand specialises in colourful and comfy clothing.

It is set to join St Werburgh Street in the unit where footwear brand, Ecco, currently stands.

Two job postings have been listed on the Lucy & Yak website, with the brand hiring a store manager and assistant store manager for its new branch.

Founded in 2017, the retailer can be found in ten cities, including Brighton, Cardiff and Manchester - with Chester soon joining the list.

Summarising the brand, Lucy & Yak said: "Our mission is to create pieces that inspire joy and creativity and are kinder to the planet, to treat the makers fairly and have a happy team that love what they do."

Whilst the official closing date for the Ecco store is unconfirmed, staff in store have said it could be as soon as early June.
