Hugo BOSS has permanently closed its flagship store in Newcastle city centre after 13 years of operation, with signs confirming the closure now visible on the doors at Monument. The store, which opened in 2013, occupied a prime location next to Banyan bar and was a key destination for men's fashion in the city.
Store closure details
Notices posted on the doors of the Hugo BOSS store announced the permanent closure and directed customers to the nearest remaining stores at the Metrocentre and inside Fenwick department store. The closure comes as a surprise to regular shoppers who have frequented the store since its opening alongside other high-end retailers like Jack Wills, Rox, and The White Company.
Impact on Newcastle retail
The loss of Hugo BOSS reduces the luxury fashion offering in Newcastle's city centre, but other retailers are expanding. Korean brand Oseyo is set to open its largest UK store in the former Waitrose unit at Eldon Square, offering viral snacks, claw machines, and photo booths. The new store is expected to draw significant crowds on opening day.
According to ChronicleLive, the closure of Hugo BOSS marks a shift in the retail landscape, with traditional fashion brands making way for experiential and Asian grocery concepts. The nearest Hugo BOSS stores remain accessible at the Metrocentre and Fenwick, ensuring customers can still purchase the brand locally.
