5. Wear, Vine Place
Giving new life to the old Aphrodite site in Vine Place, Wear opened its doors with a SeaChange coffee shop that's a sister site to the Winter Gardens cafe, and a pre-loved clothing store stocking a range of top brands. | Sunderland Echo
6. Fretta by Ruhe, Stockton Road
Fretta by Ruhe has opened in Stockton Road as part of The Four Corner Collective, which is giving new life to the corner block of Mary Street and Stockton Road. Fretta is in one of the commercial units on the ground floor, specialising in sit-in brunches as well as salads, matcha and more to go. Upstairs, meanwhile, is being turned into high quality serviced apartments. | Sunderland Echo
7. Omniplex Sunderland, Sunniside
Autumn saw the completion of the £4m refurbishment of Omniplex Sunderland, now arguably one of the best cinemas in the North East with recliner seats as standard, a screen with all sofa beds and a boutique cinema experience upstairs called The Avenue. | Omniplex
8. Rio Brazilian Steakhouse, Low Row
RIO has been one of the biggest new openings with years of anticipation for its eat-all-you can meat and salad offering. It opened to much fanfare in September after a £500,00 refurbishment of the former Halo / Bid Bigalows site in Low Row. For the non-meat eaters, you can also just do the unlimited salad bar, with an a la carte menu also available | Sunderland Echo
