The fizz was flowing at The Bridges when the SAFC Supporters Shop opened in 1990, and plenty of people turned out to welcome Primark in 2004.
We have La Femme lingerie in 2007, Pandora in 2010 and Krispy Kreme in 2012.
If all that sounds tasty, have a look at our gallery of Sunderland Echo memories.
