EAST - open for business at Sanderson Arcade!

THE ladies fashion retailer EAST has opened up for business in the final unit in the successful Sanderson Arcade development in Morpeth, Northumberland.

The company has more than 60 stores nationwide and prides itself on giving customers something unique. All EAST fashions are ‘designed to be individual’.  The chain has opened in the final unit along the Arcade’s stunning Edwardian style gallery covering 1,754 sq ft (163 sq m)

The brand’s heritage comes from the EAST and notably India where it draws upon traditions and skills to create handcrafted and inspired prints with intricate and exceptional detailing. Statement and coordinating accessories complete the look.

 Suzi Spink Chief Operating Officer of EAST said: “Sanderson Arcade was an obvious choice for EAST when considering which towns to target as part of our 2010 expansion plan. We had been impressed with the plans for the development from when we first saw them and wanted to be a part of this exciting opportunity.

“We know from customer letters and our database that we have loyal customers in the area who are not always able to travel to John Lewis Newcastle or Durham and would love a local store."

Debbie Anderson, Centre Manager at Sanderson Arcade, said: “We are delighted that EAST has joined the line up here at Sanderson Arcade, they have a stunning ranges of clothes for ladies and there has been a real buzz about the company coming to Morpeth.”

Work is due to start in May on the next phase of the Sanderson Arcade development which will create a further 6,470 sq ft (601 sq m) of retail space.
