Waterloo square
BHS set for October opening!
Click the link in the title to read what "the spinning machine" had to say, then view the images below (taken just four days ago.)
It appears that something is holding the job up, and an opening in early October is as likely as kissing the hand of the Pope's wife!
Having spoken to some of the builders and shopfitters working on site, who believe that any announcements about a November opening would be ill advised, I believe that we should be tentative about any firm date.
Telephone calls to Next, BHS, and Debenhams confirmed that none of these companies has a firm opening date in mind, indeed the call centres responsible for Debenhams and Next were not even aware that new stores were being built in South Shields (in fact, if you want the whole truth, Debenham's call centre thought that South Shields was somewhere near Hemel Hempstead!
