Popular North East shopping centre, Metrocentre, has announced a global fashion brand is set to open a store this month.

Fashion retailer Reiss will open a store at the Gateshead shopping centre's red mall in mid-November.

The store will stock menswear, womenswear, and accessories, and will be located near other popular brands such as Zara, Flannels, and Levi's.

Gavin Prior, Metrocentre centre director, said: "We’re pleased to announce that Reiss will soon be joining the centre in the Lower Red Mall.

"Reiss will join Mango and Sosandar who have also opened over the last couple of months, further strengthening our fashion offering.

This announcement follows a series of retail developments at the Metrocentre. Spanish fashion brand Mango recently opened in the red mall, adding to the centre's appeal to international retailers.

A refurbishment of River Island's store is currently underway which is set to bring modern technology to the clothing store in a bid to improve the shopping experience for North East customers.

Reiss, known for its dedication to timeless fashion and wardrobe staples, will offer a more premium collection to shoppers at the Metrocentre in Gateshead.

The retailer's signing is seen as a testament to the strength of the Metrocentre in the North East according to a statement from the centre.
