HERTFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND, June 16, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Tesco is aiming for top marks with parents this summer by launching a one-price-fits-all school uniform for just GBP3.75*, the lowest price available.
The fixed price is frozen at last year's level and it applies to all sizes, giving parents on the tightest budgets great value. Usually, retailers vary prices as the uniform sizes get bigger so parents with older children have to pay more.
Jan Marchant,
Tesco Clothing Buying Director, said: "Parents like different price options for
Back to School and our Value range offers them a fantastic, quality product, produced in line with Ethical Trading Initiative guidelines, at an unbeatable price. For just GBP3.75, parents can buy a single uniform in any size from 3 to 16 years."
Tesco's Value school uniform has been rigorously tested for tough school wear and tear to British and European Testing Standards.
This year Tesco has expanded its Back to School offering with 27 new products as well as stepping up quality with updated features and superior quality across half the range, yet sticking to last year's prices. New features include kid-proof sealed hems on all
boys' school trousers, adjustable waists up to 12 - 13 years; bigger pockets and rain resist coating on coats helping to keep the kids warm and dry. The range includes a full Fairtrade Cotton uniform for the first time.
The Tesco Back to School range is a wide range that includes shirts, pique polo shirts, trousers, skirts, pinafores, and coats is available in 450 stores. For parents that need to stock up on essential Back to School items such as shirts, pique polo shirts, socks and briefs, these will be available in 725 stores across the country, including Metro stores. The Value
school uniform will be available in 200 stores and online.
