The national discount retailer has relocated from Crowtree Road to inside The Bridges shopping centre, near to Primark.
Karen Eve, centre director at the Bridges Shopping Centre added: "We’re absolutely delighted to welcome TK Maxx to their fantastic new store at the Bridges. As a valued anchor retailer for many years, their move into this brand-new space marks an exciting new chapter.
“It not only enhances the shopping experience for our visitors but also reflects both their continued success and our ongoing commitment to investing in and evolving the centre.”
Here’s a look around:

2. New location
The new TK Maxx gives new life to the former Tesco unit, which closed in spring 2022, as well as three smaller retail units. In summer 2025, Tesco opened an Express store outside of the main shopping centre, which means it can open for longer hours than those inside the shopping centre. | Sunderland Echo

This exciting move gives customers a fresh, modern space to explore our fantastic brands for less, making every visit even more enjoyable than ever. At TK Maxx, we’re committed to delivering the very best for our customers and can’t wait for everyone to discover the treasures our new store has to offer." | Sunderland Echo
