H&M suggested that it had decided to close its Teesside Park store due to a lack of demand.

“Customer behaviour is constantly changing, and we need to adapt accordingly. We want to be where our customers are,” a spokesman said. “The physical store is still extremely important to us and will be a place for customers to shop, discover and be inspired.

"At H&M, we are constantly working to integrate physical and digital stores, we want to find the strength in each channel and make the customer journey smooth."

H&M’s closure comes after Superdry recently announced it was also leaving Teesside Retail Park.
