Ark Fashion Limited – sub-tenant

The first ARK store opened over 20 years ago in the Leeds Corn
Exchange. As the company grew in size they opened a second store
in York in 1994, followed closely by a Sheffield-based ARK store too.
Their unique mix of branded fashion and own-label apparel resulted in
further stores opening in Nottingham, Derby, Milton Keynes,
Castleford and Manchester. There are now 7 stores across the
country with more planned in the future.
