Metrocentre’s Green Mall to welcome trio of brands

Sovereign Centros from CBRE has announced that a trio of retailers will be opening at Metrocentre’s Green Mall in Gateshead.

Leading the signings is specialist kitchenware brand ProCook, which is set to open a 3,326 sq ft space on Metrocentre’s Lower Green Mall later this year. The store will offer a range of cookware, knives, tableware, and smaller kitchen appliances.

The Green Mall will also welcome footwear retailer Clarks next month, which will relocate from Metrocentre’s Lower Red Mall. Taking a 3,619 sq ft unit opposite Boots, the store will offer Clarks’ new ‘modern workshop’ format, delivering a new look.

Also relocating from the Lower Red Mall is Victoria’s Secret, which will open in a 5,411 sq ft space later this summer adjacent to Next. The store will offer the international brand’s range of products including intimate apparel, beauty products, and sleepwear.

Ben Cox, director at Sovereign Centros from CBRE, said: “The investment in Green Mall, by new and established tenants, highlights its growing appeal among some of the most popular retailers in the UK. The creation of these new stores also reinforces our position as the leading destination in the North East, adding more diversity to what is already a best-in-class offer regionally. There’s so much happening at Metrocentre, and it has been fantastic to work with retailers that really believe in the destination, Green Mall, our visitor catchment, and the potential for success here.”

This news follows the announcement that the nearby Metro Retail Park is now fully let, following the creation of three new units and the opening of furniture specialist NCF Living.
