THE ZIP YARD HAS TAKEN A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO THE GARMENTS ALTERATION BUSINESS

The Zip Yard’s success has been built on the back of quality, speed, convenience and value - together with a network of hardworking franchise owners.

The market potential for this franchise is huge, and The Zip Yard expects all its centres to be profitable in the first year.

According to The Zip Yard, the clothing alteration business is not driven by the economy. When times are good more people buy new clothes that need altering to size, while when times are less good people get clothes altered or repaired to make them last longer.

However, people no longer have the time or skills to tackle even the simplest of hems, let alone risk damaging a favourite or expensive garment.

BRANDING

The Zip Yard has taken a different approach to the garments alteration business. Its highly visible, bold branding differentiates the company from its competitors. All centres are finished to the highest of standards and include state-of-the-art machinery, computer systems and, in most cases, seamstresses work in full view of the public so customers can see for themselves the high standard of workmanship.

The Zip Yard business model has been created, tested and developed to ensure you have the best opportunity to be successful in the shortest period of time. Your investment delivers a fully operational and supported business, with trained staff and comprehensive marketing from day one. In addition, all centres are finished to a distinctive specification that makes them customer friendly, highly branded
and very visible.

Successful franchise owners will be ambitious to run their own business, customer driven, well organised and keen to follow a proven business system. You do not need to be familiar with repairs or alterations and the company is not looking for tailors or tailoresses.
