Whats really annoying is they haven't designed it like Primark, (where u have to walk through the store to get in to the bridges) they should of, i think shops work better like that.
With the new build i hope New Look gets knocked down and moved, as its rumoured to be NEXT (the shop) moving in to the new build so i hope New Look would move in to the old NEXT shop.

Why the hell do Primark even have security anyway, the stuff is so cheap that practically no-one is going to shoplift from there.
(24 Feb 2016, 7:31 pm)Michael wrote You'll be surprised!I'll be honest, I'm not a massive fan of the place, if I get out of the place without wanting to plant someone it's been a success.
Nothing worse when some women smashes in to your legs with the pushchair!

New Look could possibly move into Burton as I think it had closed down the last time I was there on my birthday a few weeks back. Disappointing that it sounds like Sunderland isn't going to get any more new shops though.
(24 Feb 2016, 7:39 pm)Michael wrote I'm not either, only stuff i buy from there is my work trousers and shirts.
Blu ink has shut down down to, they could also move in there, i rarely go to Sunderland now because its that crap!, i was hoping to see new shops in Sunderland, doubt that will happen when the council etc are only bothered about profits etc!
(24 Feb 2016, 7:49 pm)Jimmi wrote Aye, forgot Blue Inc had closed has well, Sunderland was one of the casualties of at least 60 store closures which also included Eldon Square and Officers Club stores at Hartlepool, South Shields and Stockton. The amount of shops seems to be badly decreasing in Sunderland everytime I visit.
Sunderland is not my go to place for shopping, that's normally either the MetroCentre or Middlesbrough, I go more for the day out than anything.

(24 Feb 2016, 7:57 pm)BusLoverMum wrote Having to walk through Primark is bleeding annoying. By putting that there, they got rid of the level access.
Plus, there's so much polyester in there, it's a wonder people don't get electrocuted as they walk through.
(On the plus side, was glad to see the back of that stinky butcher's shop - that always used to make me heave)

(24 Feb 2016, 8:01 pm)Michael wrote Going to be honest and say i can't ever remember that area having level access before Primark, wasn't there a greggs to along with the electric shop?
I remember that butchers, never went in though, i was like 9 at the time though haha
(24 Feb 2016, 8:02 pm)BusLoverMum wrote I used to quite like Sunderland for its compactness and the fact that it's one of 2 remotely decent shopping places I can get to on one bus. Gone off it now though. Sick of having to queue every time I want a loo with paper, running water and a lack of stinking puddles to wade through. Also sick of freezing my backside off at that bus station.
(24 Feb 2016, 8:16 pm)Michael wrote Us Sunderland lot like a Greggs sausage roll!A fair few places in the North East have a fair few branches whilst other places don't seem to have as many, it's not just Sunderland either, Newcastle and Darlington have a fair few as well.
You go any city now and you'll have at least 2 haha

(24 Feb 2016, 8:40 pm)BusLoverMum wrote Aye. Sunderland has 5 or 6 in just a small area of the city, though.
That's more than it has places selling drinkable coffee. So far I've been fairly satisfied with the winter gardens (6/10) and Nero (8/10). Keep meaning to try that elephant tearoom place, next to m&s.ight try it with motherin law, one day.
(24 Feb 2016, 9:03 pm)Michael wrote The Elephant tea room is supposed to be nice.
I like Costa
