Stradivarius to open new store at Metrocentre

Stradivarius has signed to open a new store at Metrocentre, marking the brand’s first location in the North East.

Stradivarius will open an almost 10,000 sq ft space in lower Red Mall this summer, just along the mall from Zara.

With an extensive range of trend-driven apparel and accessories, the flagship location will complement Red Mall’s already line-up of fashion retailers, including Reiss, Mango and the newly refurbished River Island.

In 2024, Metrocentre welcomed 15.8 million visitors, a 10% increase compared to the previous year. The strong growth in visitation reflects the centre’s ongoing success in attracting new brands while supporting the expansion of existing tenants.

Ben Cox, director at Sovereign Centros from CBRE, asset managers of Metrocentre, said: “Stradivarius signing for this regional debut is a huge statement for Metrocentre, confirming its appeal as the premier retail destination in the North East. 

“Inditex’s decision to bring another of its leading brands to Red Mall showcases our ability to deliver the best in fashion experiences to our growing and increasingly loyal customer base.”
