Bay Sails in to Wellington Square!

The status of Wellington Square Shopping Centre as Stockton ’s premier destination for cutting edge fashion has been reinforced with the opening of Bay Trading Company, a national chain aimed at ladies aged 18 to 25.

The 1,200 sq ft store has been fitted out in Bay’s corporate style, offering a high range of high quality and attractively priced clothing and accessories from the new autumn/winter range. The new store follows on from the recent opening of Select and provides a significant boost to Wellington Square ’s fashion offering, which also includes H&M, Debenhams, Marks & Spencer, Topshop and Pilot.

“Bay Trading Company is currently involved in a nationwide expansion strategy and Stockton has been high on our list for new store openings,” says Michelle Spinks the store manager. “ Wellington Square was chosen due to its popularity as a retail destination and also for the size and adaptability of the retail units. We feel that our target customers will naturally gravitate towards the centre.”

The store will create a total of seven new part and full-time roles, including management, supervisors and sales assistants, who will all be fully trained in order to offer the highest levels of customer service. Bay’s arrival is also a boost to Stockton town centre as whole, with an expanded fashion offering helping to retain shoppers in the town.

“We are very proud of Wellington Square ’s portfolio of fashion stores, which makes the centre an absolute must for fashion-conscious shoppers in Stockton ,” says Rob Gildersleeve, centre manager. “The arrival of Bay is a further boost to this position and we are delighted to welcome Michelle and her team to our retail community.”

With 38 high street stores, including Debenhams, H&M, River Island , New Look, Marks & Spencer and many more, plus over 800 secure parking spaces, Wellington Square has something for everyone.
