Clarks UK is giving parents the confidence to buy children’s school shoes in advance by vowing to swap them for a pair that fit if they grow out of them before February.
It’s part of the shoe shop’s Back to School: Buy Early With Confidence service.
In a statement outlining the offer via its website, Clarks said: “[if you] buy their school shoes now, we’ll guarantee they’ll fit until 28th February 2021. If they don’t, we’ll exchange for a new pair – It’s as simple as that, so beat the crowds, skip the queues by booking your in-store fit appointment for our guarantee.”
“Our expert fitters will ensure your kids start the new school term in comfort and style.”
The deal applies to all full price back to school kids shoes, including school shoes, boots, plimsolls and sports shoes, but there are a few terms and conditions that do come along with the guarantee.

The service only applies to infant sizes 10 and above, from the date of purchase to 28th February 2021, and for infant sizes 7 to 9.5, Clarks says these must be exchanged from the date of purchase to 30th November 2020.
All eligible school shoes must be purchased from a Clarks shop between 13th July – 14th September 2020 and the shoes must have been fitted by a trained Clarks fitter in store, so this means that shoes bought from Clarks UK online are not included in the deal. Shoppers will also need to show their receipt, bring the old shoes into store and have a Clarks fitter agree that they no longer fit your child.

You can only return shoes based on the size of the shoe and will only be able to swap them for a pair of shoes that are the same price as the old pair.

Home Bargains has announced a special two-day closure of all UK stores
Emily Sergeant
Home Bargains has, once again, announced it’ll be closing all its UK stores on both Boxing Day and New Year’s Day this year.
And it’s to make sure staff get a ‘well deserved break’.
After what has been yet another busy year for the retail industry, many workers have been left feeling like they could do with a little extra time off, which is why Home Bargains is following on with what has become a now-annual tradition by shutting up shop on two bank holidays.
All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day & New Years Day.
Announcing the move in a post on social media, the discount retailer confirmed: “All of our stores will be closing for Boxing Day and New Years Day. We would like to thank all our colleagues for how hard you have worked this past year, and want you to relax and enjoy the Christmas break with your loved ones.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time the retailer has kept its doors shut on bank holidays.
Many shoppers will recall it has made the same decision to give hardworking staff a break every year since 2019.
Explaining a little more about the decision taken to close all its stores, Home Bargains said: “As a family-run business, we know the importance of being together at Christmas with those we care about most, now more than ever.
“This is our way of saying thank you to our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication.”

Two Greggs in Manchester will be serving their breakfast menu in the evening next week

Who says breakfast has to end at 11am?
In news that’s set to be music to the ears of breakfast lovers in Manchester, Greggs is giving them exactly what they want.
We all know that brunch is a ‘thing’ by now, so now it’s time for brinner to make a name for itself instead, as Greggs has teamed up with Heinz to bring its much-loved breakfast menu back for tea time, kicking off from 4pm onwards.
The move comes as a new survey has found that the majority of Mancs (69%) admit to enjoying eating breakfast food in the evening, saying it’s ‘convenient and comforting’ – even ranking breakfast as a ‘more important’ meal than tea, as well (38% vs 36%).

Greggs says it has ‘lost count’ of the amount of customers that have tried to order breakfast items after the usual cut-off time, especially in Greater Manchester.
But luckily for those breakfast-loving Mancs, they can finally get their favourite breakfast and sauce pairing long after the morning rush is over next… but only at two Greggs branches, and only for a very limited time.
On Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 October, the Heinz x Greggs Brinner collab will be available at Greggs St Mary’s Gate and Greggs Oxford Road, from 4-7pm only.
“We’ve lost count of the number of customers who have tried their luck ordering breakfast after 11am, so when Heinz came to us with the idea of making Brinner a reality, it felt like the perfect excuse to give the people what they want,” explained Zoe Harris, who is the Customer Director at Greggs.
“And let’s be honest, a Greggs Bacon Roll just wouldn’t be the same without a squeeze of Heinz Tomato Ketchup.”
