It's all hygge at Eldon Square   We're embracing Danish style and all things 'hygge' now the new Sostrene Grene has opened its doors and brought a touch of Scandinavia to Newcastle at Eldon Square.   Hundreds of eager shoppers queued with anticipation for the opening of the brand's first North East store and were entertained by live music and a ballet performance. When doors opened at 9:59 am, the first 100 visitors received a voucher for a free rug worth over £60 and a goodie bag filled with an exciting selection of products.   Focusing on the joy of finding beautiful, functional and affordable items, the Danish retailer is a welcome new addition to Eldon Square, which has many new openings to come before the end of 2024. In a 5,000 square foot unit on the Upper Mall, next to Swarovski and Molton Brown, the retailer brings a touch of Scandinavian living to the UK with its carefully curated collection of homeware, kitchenware, food and drink, seasonal pieces, children's toys and even arts and crafts.    It’s not just a store either, Søstrene Grene is also set to host workshops and experiences where customers can engage in crafting activities and learn new skills.   Make sure to pop in during your next visit!   #Hygge #Danish #Retail #NewOpenings

The concept of mixed-use developments is revolutionising the traditional shopping centre model.  Integrating office spaces and co-working environments with retail and entertainment facilities creates vibrant, 24/7 ecosystems as well as meaning less vacancies, a busier high street and a chance to see local businesses thrive and flourish.  Creating multi-use spaces makes a shopping centre and retail space more than just a single purpose destination. Blending the uses maximises the use of space, drives continuous foot traffic, and cultivates a diverse and dynamic community who then support, shop and spend in the centre. We recognised this in Eldon Square with the transformation of an empty space that was previously a food and beverage unit into a digital and co-working business hub, making use of a vacancy to offer more for those working in Newcastle. Digital Catapult 5G Immersive Lab will open on Wednesday 4 September, and is being brought to Eldon Square by The North East Combined Authority, floe, Sunderland Software City and Vodafone Business. Reimagining retail requires shopping centres to embrace change, innovate continuously, and place the customer at the centre of every decision. We have built this into our strategy and plans here at Eldon Square and continue to do so. What are your thoughts on the future of shopping centres? How do you see them evolving in your community?
