If you’ve missed Ann Summers since it closed in High Street West don’t get your knickers in a twist – it's now relocated.

The high street favourite has returned to Sunderland, with the opening of a brand new store at The Bridges, after closing in its old location two years ago.

It’s back with a 1599 sq ft outlet selling a range of lingerie and products for adults.

The store opening has created seven jobs and will also be offering new services such as bra fitting.

Ann Summers has taken the unit next to O2 and Great Reads, another new addition to the centre which opened earlier this year.

The company has been operating since the 1970s with an initial handful of shops which was followed in 1981 by the launch of their Ann Summers parties, leading to the continued growth of the brand and it becoming a stalwart of high streets around the country.

Karen Eve, centre director at the Bridges said she was delighted to welcome the popular brand.
