Anyone remember Strand in High Bridge Street? Only place you could buy SI in the north east at one point before the numpties jumped on the bandwagon.

I still use End regularly but only online, typically when there's sales on. Used to love the shop of High Bridge St and the End Hunting one which opened.

"New" shop just just has no character. Fair play to the lads running it as they've made it into a huge company.

New shop is full of SI etc that the kids buy and none of the more unusual stuff that made it good. The website is still class as you say but it’s annoying having to pay a fiver delivery to try something on when you used to be able to find it in the shop.

I'm not too sure if they changed the staff when they moved locations.

Used to be a lad who supported Sunderland in there who I used to talk with when I went in but when they moved seemed like a completely different set of people working there. Standard hype beast / just out of uni lot

Wasn’t reporter owned by the same family as west one ? Only ever bought one thing from there and fortunately never had to take it back cos if it was the same firm as west one the one thing they didn’t like was refunds 😂
