Firstly, I must point out that this store is in NORTH Shields, not South Shields, even though this…read morewebsite insists on putting that as the address!! The Reebok Factory Outlet is located in The Royal Quays Retail Outlet centre in the newly developed quayside area in North Shields. This shop is quite cool, it is very large and has a great range of sportswear, footwear and sporting equipment, mostly at affordable prices. I've picked up one or two bargains here in the past, especially trainers! Everything is discounted so is always cheaper than the usual RRP. I've always found the staff there to be very pleasant and helpful. Because it is situated in a retail outlet centre it is in amongst a range of shops and there are plenty of places to eat nearby. There are hundreds of free parking spaces and it is quite easy to get to by bus or by metro (Royal Quays is about a 10min walk from Percy Main Metro Station).

This branch of JD Sports is a giant store, it is located on Northumberland Street in Newcastle city…read morecentre, and it is one of the rare stores which actually has a larger and more modern store here in Newcastle city centre than at Gateshead's Metrocentre, which is around two and a half miles away, at the other side of the River Tyne. This branch seems quite modern, and it makes me feel it definitely has been refurbished recently, especially since this place was last reviewed by two Qype users nearly 9 full years ago. The staff seemed average, the product range was okay, albeit the selection of football shirts was quite poor, they included Newcastle United which is obvious for geographical reasons, but they also had shirts from Chelsea and Manchester United and Liverpool which I can't understand as they didn't stock my favourite club Manchester City, who finished higher than United and Liverpool last season, and have won more Premier League titles since its' formation in 1992 than Liverpool, and have the longest active streak in England of Champions League Qualification, which came into effect last season when Arsenal could only manage finishing in 5th place, meanwhile City of course finished third. The store has a decent, maybe slightly above average selection of most other items and a nice feel to it, it is located over two floors with footwear upstairs and in my opinion warrants a medium to high three star rating.
