The Zip Yard is one of the most successful and fastest growing garments alteration franchises in the UK and Ireland. Its success has been built on the back of quality, speed, convenience and value – together with a network of hard-working franchise owners.

The market potential is huge and it expects all its centres to be profitable in the first year. As well as this, The Zip Yard states that the clothing alteration business is not economy driven.

When times are good, more and more people buy new clothes that need altering to size. When times are less good, people get clothes altered or repaired to last a little longer. People no longer have the time or the skills to tackle even the simplest of hems, let alone risk damaging a favourite or expensive garment.

The Zip Yard’s highly visible, strong, bold branding separates it from its competitors and helps to dominate in the high street.

All of The Zip Yard centres are finished to the highest of standards and include ‘state of the art’ machinery, computer systems and in most cases itsseamstresses work in full view of the public so customers can see for themselves the high standards of workmanship.
