Fashion retailer Reiss said it will reopen its first 26 UK stores on June 15 as retailers emerge from lockdown.
The fast-growing company said it is in the latest stage of its phased reopening plans, having already resumed trading in some stores in Europe.
It said it will implement a number of health and safety procedures to help comply with Government guidance, such as restricting the number of customers in stores and limiting access to fitting rooms.
The high street chain will restrict the number of customers allowed in stores at any one time and will use clear social distancing markers.
It will also limit access to fitting rooms, encouraging customers to try products on at home, with it extending its returns policy to 60 days.
Reiss said it will also reduce its trading hours and provide staff with face masks and disposable gloves.
Christos Angelides, chief executive, said: “We have been working on a phased reopening plan for a number of weeks.
“Reiss stores will be carefully managed, in accordance with the latest health and safety guidelines to ensure the utmost wellbeing of our staff and customers.
“We have been encouraged by the Reiss stores that have reopened in Europe, where the reaction from our customers has been very positive when shopping the new collection.
“We have transferred key learnings from our European teams and customers to ensure a safe, robust and enjoyable experience in the UK.”
