Overview
- Mid-June 2026 coverage shows Evans back on the high street as dedicated shop-in-shop concessions inside Yours Clothing outlets across the UK and Ireland.
- Reports differ on scale with outlets citing figures from about 35 locations up to more than 50, reflecting either a phased rollout or inconsistent reporting.
- AK Retail, which bought Evans from City Chic in 2023, is using its existing retail network including Yours Clothing and some M&Co sites to restore a physical presence for the label.
- Evans originally launched in 1930 and closed its physical stores and concessions in December 2020 after the Arcadia Group collapsed, continuing as an online-only brand until the AK Retail relaunch.
- Retailers say the move responds to strong, long-term loyalty among plus-size shoppers, though AK Retail has not published a definitive list or final confirmation of how many concessions will be permanent.
