Shopping centre bosses say they are talking to other retailers about moving to Middleton Grange.

Savers sells branded products at affordable prices and has over 400 branches around the UK.

It is currently advertising for five retail assistant jobs on its website.

The retailer said: “We continue to strive to launch the biggest products on the high street at the lowest prices. We have over 400 stores throughout England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales and are still expanding.”

No firm opening date has been given for the new Hartlepool store.

Furniture Express is due to close in mid September while Trespass right next to it is also holding a closing down sale.

A spokesperson for Middleton Grange said: “We can confirm that Trespass and Furniture Express have made the decision to close their stores at the centre.

“While this news is disappointing for Middleton Grange and the Hartlepool community, we are pleased to be able to announce the news that Savers will be joining the centre’s line-up this summer.
