This is the smaller of the two New Look shops in Middlesbrough Town Centre but I prefer it because it’s less busy, easier to find your way around and I’ve found they tend to have smaller sizes in stock more often. They still have queues at the till sometimes, especially during sales but that’s to be expected. It’s also very handy because it’s closer to the bus station so if I buy lots of stuff I don’t have to walk across the town centre with it all.

This is one of two New Look stores in Middlesbrough centre. This is the older one located at the bottom of the Hill Street close to Primark and next door to home bargains. have always found this to be much quieter compared to the newer one and wondered why it is still open but anyway. In this store it’s mainly casuals, jumpers, fleece, plain tops etc although the shoe bit is quit good, often better than the big department in the newer one I find. There is also a small bit of underwear, Inspire, the brand for size 18+ and 915, the children’s section in new look. The accessories are very poor with very little choice. Changing rooms are brightly coloured and have a massive seating area. There is also plenty of them.

This shop is quite big and easy to see with an entrance from the hill street centre and it’s car park. If you want to drive in, parking isn’t free but it’s only a short way from the bus station. The shop is a large room with changing rooms in the back right corner. It’s full of female clothes with some accesories as well. The clothes aren’t great quality and as a result are quite cheap but they’re alright, I remember one summer I got about 5 dresses for £20 — quite good really, they were all fashionable dresses and lasted me for the summer, I was going to Italy so they were ideal! It tends mostly to supply you with cheap in fashion clothes which draws a lot of younger girls in. The staff are alright, can be a bit grumpy as the queues get longer. Generally its ok to grab a cheap bargain.
