"We’re experiencing great momentum, significantly expanding our coverage because both large and small merchants see the value Amex offers, which includes access to our loyal and high-spending cardmembers."
James Timpson, chief executive of Timpson, added: "Giving our customers a great experience and choice in how they pay is hugely important to our business.
"We’re delighted to partner with American Express and are already seeing the value of welcoming their cardmembers in our stores across the country."
Ahmed Kazi, group operations director at EG Group, said: "We have a longstanding partnership with American Express, and this new extension means that we will now be able to accept Amex payments at more of our popular third-party brands in the UK.
