Mark Shepherd an Aycliffe resident since 2006, owned a clothing store “Boola”  in Darlington. In 2008 he expanded and relocated to Richmond.
Boola continued to grow and develop and now offers both men’s and women’s clothing collections and footwear which Mark says is “on trend” and “affordable”.
Boola offers collections from brands including – Superdry, Great Plains, Peter Werth, French Connection, Weekend Offender, Ichi, Vila, Vero Moda, We are Saints and Last & True.
As an Aycliffe resident Mark always hoped he could open a store in the town and recently was able to agree a short term lease with the town centre owners from July to November,
Work will begin on the new store in the town centre, next  to Santander Bank in the next  few weeks with an official opening in the very near future.
If the store is well received and used by residents of Newton Aycliffe Mark will enter into a long term lease and firmly establish Boola Clothing in Newton Aycliffe.
