Hexham’s Fore Street has gained a new clothing and lifestyle retailer after Weird Fish opened its latest branch in the town centre.
The store has taken over the former Specsavers location. According to the Hexham Courant, it opened on Thursday, August 20, although the source does not specify the year.
A new town-centre shop
Weird Fish is described as a retail lifestyle brand, selling clothing and lifestyle products with an emphasis on “fun”, practicality, style and quality. Images supplied to the newspaper show the interior of the new Hexham shop.
The opening gives shoppers another branded clothing and lifestyle option on one of Hexham’s main shopping streets. It also brings a new occupant to premises previously associated with Specsavers.
Opening sale
The new store opened while Weird Fish was running a nationwide sale offering 70 per cent off everything. The source does not state how long the offer was available, whether it applied to every item in the Hexham branch or what the shop’s regular opening hours are.
Weird Fish had been approached for comment, but no response or further statement was included in the supplied report. Residents looking for more information about products, opening hours or the sale may therefore need to check directly with the retailer.
The opening was reported by the Hexham Courant as a business, leisure and shopping story.
