AN outdoor clothing chain with 300 stores is set to close a town centre site less than two years after opening. Trespass has launched a huge closing down sale at its store in Middlesbrough's Hillstreet Shopping Centre. Yellow and black signs reading 'everything must go' have been posted on the store's windows, according to reports by Teeside Live.

The outdoor clothing specialist had opened in the shopping centre less than two years ago. It had taken a site previously occupied by Monsoon, which pulled down the shutters in summer 2020. Commenting on news of the closure one local said: "Knew it wouldn't last long.".
Another added: "Another one bites the dust.". A third said: "It only been open for two years .". A precise date for the closure has yet to be announced. The Sun has contacted Trespass for comment. Trespass announced it would axe six sites from its estate in July 2023, with the closure of branches including Norwich and Sutton Coldfield following.
But, it's not all bad news from the brand and Trespass has since secured a new Norwich site. The high street has had a tough few years and just today retailer Quiz said it close as many as a third of its stores. Plenty of other retailers are closing stores across the country's high streets as households lean towards online shopping.
