British womenswear brand Sosandar has signed for a 2,047 sq ft unit at the Metrocentre in Gateshead.
The retailer is launching its third standalone bricks-and-mortar location in the shopping centre’s upper Platinum Mall. The store is due to open in October.
Ben Cox, director at Sovereign Centros from CBRE, asset manager of the Metrocentre, said: “Sosandar’s arrival at Metrocentre for one of their first physical stores, and first in the region, is fantastic news and reflective of the destination’s dominance in the North East and strength in the UK as a whole.
“We are dedicated to delivering highly sought-after brands that will appeal to our loyal customer base. Sosandar is just that, and a natural fit within Platinum Mall, and we look forward to seeing their store open in the autumn.”
Ali Hall and Julie Lavington, co-CEOs of Sosandar, added: “We are pleased to announce the third location for our Sosandar stores. We have a strict criteria of opening stores in top tier, thriving locations where Sosandar customers over-index, and Metrocentre ticks all these boxes. Metrocentre has a reputation for hosting a versatile range of fashion retailers and we look forward to the official opening of our store in the coming months.”
