A major retailer is to open its doors at a brand new North East store next week.

This May will see a brand-new TK Maxx store open in Middlesbrough, offering local treasure-seekers the chance to grab great value bargains.

Labels-for-less retailer TK Maxx is opening its Middlesbrough store at 10 am on Thursday, May 25.

Spanning two floors and 19,911 square feet, the TK Maxx store, which specialises in offering well-loved brands at lower prices, offers designer labels and one-off gems at up to 60 per cent less than the RRP.

Shoppers can expect several new deliveries each week, with new items to find every visit.

TK Maxx is relocating from its existing spot in Middlesbrough town centre to Cleveland Retail Park.

The plan is for the existing town centre store to remain open until Wednesday, May 24, but Middlesborough shoppers should keep an eye on tkmaxx.com for any updates.

The store has given all its associates the opportunity to transfer across to the new store as part of the move.

Alongside this relocation, TK Maxx is currently planning to expand further, with five brand new stores opening in the UK over the next six months.
