Trespass begins closing down sale at Middlesbrough store less than two years after opening

Outdoor clothing chain Trespass is closing its Middlesbrough store in Hillstreet Shopping Centre, less than two years after opening. The store has begun a closing down sale, with signs stating "everything must go." This closure follows Trespass's announcement in July 2023 to shut six locations, including Norwich and Sutton Coldfield. The brand has since secured a new site in Norwich. The retail sector is facing challenges, with many stores closing due to rising costs and a shift to online shopping. In 2024, over 13,000 stores closed, and predictions suggest around 17,350 more may shut in 2025.
