Global fashion brand Bershka has signed for a new 16,000 sq ft store at the Metrocentre in Gateshead.
The unit in the centre’s Red Mall, which will be the brand’s first in the North East, will feature Bershka’s full product range, spanning womenswear, menswear, teen clothing and accessories.
Ben Cox, director at Sovereign Centros from CBRE, asset managers of Metrocentre, said: “The addition of Bershka to Metrocentre underlines the strength of our relationship with Inditex, as well as the success of our fashion proposition, category performance, and the momentum across the scheme. Securing another Inditex brand in such quick succession further highlights Metrocentre as a fashion-forward, best-in-class retail destination, and it’s clear the confidence global brands have in our long-term vision.
“Red Mall has been shaped as that accessible premium fashion hub, and we are driving consistent sales growth there, increasing footfall and broadening its appeal, while ensuring that consumers across the North East have access to some of the most in-demand, exciting brands on the high street.”
