Clintons is set to reopen at Eldon Square in Newcastle this September, relocating within the centre to unveil its latest concept store. The move marks a continuation of the greetings card and gift retailer’s transformation strategy, which includes the rollout of redesigned stores across the UK.
The Eldon Square store represents Clintons’ latest evolution in physical retail, following the trial and implementation of a refreshed store format. Shoppers will find a more curated product selection, which includes an expanded offering of gifts and home fragrance ranges alongside exclusive greetings cards.
The new location will feature products from brands such as Bomb Cosmetics and the Taylor & Moore Home Fragrance collection — available exclusively through Clintons. The store will also showcase the next phase of the Poppy & Duckling range, which is stocked only at Clintons. The broader selection of greetings cards will include hundreds of new and exclusive designs, intended to appeal to both everyday shoppers and seasonal buyers alike.
Helen Cowie, Centre Director at Eldon Square, commented on the reopening:
“We are delighted to welcome Clintons back into the centre at their new home. The brand is a firm favourite with shoppers, and their new concept design makes it the perfect destination for gift buyers. Their reopening adds to the strong mix of retailers here at Eldon Square, and we’re excited for visitors to rediscover the new location.”
James Taylor, Trading Director at Clintons, added:
“We’re thrilled to be reopening in Eldon Square with our latest concept store. Eldon Square is such an important location for us, and this allows us to bring our refreshed store design and exciting new product ranges to customers. From exclusive home fragrances to our brand-new greetings card collections, we’re confident shoppers will love what we’ve brought to the new store.”
The reopening forms part of a wider modernisation effort for Clintons, which continues to update its store portfolio to reflect shifts in customer expectations and shopping behaviour. The new concept design is aimed at enhancing in-store navigation and creating a more streamlined, engaging experience for customers seeking gifts, cards and seasonal items.
The new store, situated on Eldon Way next to O2, will open on Wednesday 3rd September, with an official launch event scheduled for Saturday 6th September.
