The only way is up for Mansfield clothing business as 'bigger and better' store opens

ZULU Boutique has blossomed since its humble beginnings in the former Thornton’s unit in the centre, where it opened in December last year.

The growing independent clothing chain has now taken over the entire space which used to house Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, Topman and Burton as business continues to flourish.

And the new store’s grand opening saw free prosecco and chocolates for customers.

A special performance was also given by Britain’s Got Talent finalist Kyle Tomlinson, who was honoured with the Golden Buzzer when he appeared on the show in 2017.

Sue Macpherson, store manager, said: “It was an absolutely amazing day.

“Kyle sang Hallelujah and loads of other different songs and everybody loved it.

“The new store has been brilliant so far. We’ve been packed out every single day and there’s been a lot of new faces.”

ZULU specialises in women’s Italian clothing, cotton, linen and cheesecloth. The store prides itself on ‘funky fashion that flatters and fits all shapes and sizes from 10 to 26’.

It also offers a range of boots, shoes, handbags, scarves and jewellery.

Sue said: “The old store was tiny and now we’re in this great big shop there’s been a lot of different people of all ages and sizes – people who probably used to shop at Debenhams, Beales and Dorothy Perkins. It’s ideal for them.”

The store is open Mondays-Saturdays, from 9am-5.30pm, and Sundays, from 10am-4pm.
