Spanish clothing brand opens its first North East shop at Metrocentre
Spanish fashion brand Bershka is making its North East debut with an all-new store opening at Gateshead’s Metrocentre.
The new store, which will be situated in Red Mall and occupy an impressive 16,000 sq ft, will bring together the brand’s three signature collections – Bershka, Man and BSK for teens.
Bershka is the third big name from fashion retail giant Inditex to sign with the Gateshead complex in as many years, following in the footsteps of sister brands Zara and, most recently, Stradivarius.
Gavin Prior, Centre Director at Metrocentre, said: “This latest big brand signing is another huge win for our fashion-conscious customers, bringing Bershka’s on-trend collections in womenswear, menswear, and teen clothing, along with footwear and accessories, to the North East.
“It complements an increasingly impressive fashion line-up at Metrocentre, with everything from high street names including Urban Outfitters, Mango, H&M, Flannels, River Island and – opening this summer – Hollister, through to smaller independent brands and boutiques, all under one roof, giving shoppers unparalleled choice and convenience.”
Founded in 1998, Bershka has existing UK stores in Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, Birmingham, Cardiff and London.
