Sheffield shops: Yards Store men's fashion store announces opening date in Heart of City scheme

Menswear retailer Yards Store is set to become the latest new name in Sheffield city centre, opening on Friday within the Heart of the City development.

The new Sheffield Yards Store, which will be located on Pinstone Street alongside the new Fjällräven Sheffield store, has announced it will open on March 22.

It forms part of Heart of the City – the high profile city centre development scheme led by Sheffield City Council and the developer Queensberry.

Announcing the new store opening, director and co-owner Tim Gardiner, said: "With the severe challenges that retailers in the UK have been experiencing, we believe there are great high street location opportunities for independent retailers such as us, the key is to have a distinct identity and a carefully curated brand line-up, and this is what our team has achieved with the new Sheffield store.

"We believe that Sheffield is the ideal location to host our continued development of the Yards Store brand, coupled with its close proximity to the great outdoors, we feel it will sit perfectly among the existing retail and hospitality offering that Sheffield has been successfully evolving."

Coun Ben Miskell, chairman of Sheffield Council's of Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee is pleased to see another store opening within the re-development.

He said: "It’s fantastic to see Yards Store opening on the same day as the neighbouring Fjällräven store. Both stores truly enhance the fashion offering in the city centre and I’m confident both brands will prove to be extremely popular with our shoppers.
