Urban Outfitters makes first opening of 2025 at Metrocentre

Urban Outfitters has made its first store opening of 2025 at Metrocentre in Gateshead.
The retailer has taken an 8,000 sq ft store in Red Mall, joining Zara, Mango, Reiss, as well as Stradivarius, which opened in August.
The new store features a mix of womenswear and menswear, accessories, and homeware.
Ben Cox, director at Sovereign Centros from CBRE, asset manager of Metrocentre, said: “Urban Outfitters’ arrival is a clear indicator of the centre’s success in maintaining and expanding its best-in-class retail. Following the very successful opening of Stradivarius, Urban Outfitters further strengthens Metrocentre’s already established fashion lineup, alongside like-minded brands on Red Mall. This further cements Metrocentre as the go-to destination in the North East, as an enabler for global brands’ success.”
This follows the recent opening of Stradivarius at Metrocentre, with the fashion brand making its debut in the North East at the shopping destination.
