Cosmetics brand Inglot has secured its first UK store outside of London at a major shopping centre in Newcastle. The retailer has agreed a 10 year lease for a 1000sq ft store in Intu Eldon Square.

The deal forms part of the retailer’s UK expansion drive, beginning with a focus on prime cities in the north of England. Inglot now has more than 680 stores and kiosks in high street and shopping centre locations across 80 countries.

Inglot director, Jane Swarbrigg said: “We are delighted to be expanding our UK offering into the north of England and Intu Eldon Square’s dynamic city-centre location with sparkling nightlife and thriving student population makes it the perfect way to introduce our brand to the area.”
