A warm welcome
Celebrations all around! As we commemorate 30 years of Sunderland as a city, the Bridges welcomes three new fantastic additions…
The Bridges shopping centre has been a significant part of Sunderland’s history since being opened by Princess Royal, Anne in 1988. In February 1992, Sunderland was granted city status by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, marking a turning point in the history of Sunderland. Over the past 30 years we’ve witnessed our wonderful hometown transform into a thriving, bustling and busy city. The Bridges in particular has been no stranger to change and development. Adjacent to the shopping centre used to be the old central bus station. In 2000 the station was demolished and the land was acquired by the Bridges which allowed a significant expansion creating more room for businesses to blossom. More recently, the Bridges is home to three new and exciting stores…
Laser Clinics
Laser Clinics offers a range of aesthetic treatments using the latest technology. From LED light therapy, to microdermabrasion and hydrafacials, along with laser hair removal, dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle treatment, Laser Clinics is the place to go to achieve your aesthetic goals. All treatments on offer here are performed with medical-grade equipment and advanced technology and are all performed by experienced practitioners, and trained therapists. The perfect spot for those looking to be pampered or try out the latest beauty trend.
Trespass
Trespass offers a range of clothing, footwear and equipment for use outdoors. Here you’ll find the likes of waterproof jackets, walking boots, rucksacks, wetsuits, walking poles and more; covering everything from hiking to walking and watersports. As the weather starts to change and the leaves begin to fall, we look forward to autumn walks in the countryside and windy strolls along the beach - both of which Trespass can supply the equipment and attire to keep you safe and bundled up warm. Kerry Grannon, Area Manager at Trespass said the company was delighted to be opening in Sunderland. “This store is the latest opening in our expansion across the UK,” said Kerry. “We know the people of Sunderland love the outdoors and they will appreciate the mix of style, quality and good value that Trespass will bring.”
Leading Labels
Leading Labels is a multi-branded clothing retailer with 25 years’ experience across the UK and Ireland. We’re delighted to see this new addition to the Bridges which will provide Sunderland shoppers with an impressive range of great quality branded menwear from Blue Inc, while the women's labels include Izabel London, Regatta and Solo, among many others.
As always, the Bridges is a bustling shopping centre thriving with the best of the best, giving the people of Sunderland a place to pick up everything they need. From brilliant high street stores to kit out your wardrobe, get your beauty essentials and try out the latest trends, as well as shops to pick up entertainment must-haves and tick off your weekly food shop list. We can’t wait to see what the next 30 years will bring.
