ARK is one of the country's leading retailers of branded fashion, stocking favourite labels including Superdry, Fred Perry, Carhartt, Humor, Glamorous and Motel Clothing, alongside the cream of the exciting new brands including Ark favourites Hearts & Bows and Cloak & Dagger.

ARK opened its first store in The Corn Exchange in Leeds in 1992. The shop was originally opened to fill a gap in the market for a fresh, music-influenced street wear retailer in Leeds. The store was an immediate success and grew quickly in size. In 1994, we opened in York which was soon followed by our first store in Sheffield.

Stores then followed in Nottingham, Derby and Manchester. In August we opened our latest store Cambridge. Store for later this year include Norwich Chapelfield and Merry Hill, West Midlands.

Eight more stores are planned for 2012.

ARK has now grown into a 15 store retail operation with a distribution centre just outside Leeds. ARK currently employs about 200 people.

You can shop at arkclothing.com, our internet sales arm, safe in the knowledge that we are also a bricks and mortar retailer who offers unrivalled customer service.
