// AK Retail is to reopen a number of M&Co stores this autumn
// The Yours Clothing owner is relaunching the brand’s website later this month
M&Co’s new owner AK Retail has revealed plans to re-open several stores across the UK after buying the retailer out of administration earlier this year.
The group expects to open the first locations this autumn as it targets 50 shops over the next two years.
The Yours Clothing owner snapped up the brand and intellectual property back in February, resulting in the retailer closing all 170 of its stores.
It will relaunch the brand’s website on 21 June as well as an app which is “coming soon”.
