A North East menswear company is celebrating the success of its newest store, one year after opening. Master Debonair opened its third branch in Sunderland at the historic Mackies Corner in 2021 – and has seen the shop go from strength to strength.
Co- founders and business partners, Simon Whitaker and Eve Middlemiss, said the response to date has repaid their belief that Sunderland city centre is a great location.
The thinking behind Master Debonair was to create a brand which would bring together the very best in men’s clothes for all ages, along with top level customer service and an unforgettable experience. Visitors to the Sunderland store get the opportunity to use the private showroom which they enter through a Narnia-like wardrobe door, while another of their stores features a hidden beer tap for shoppers to enjoy.
“It’s a landmark year for us and we are really delighted so far with the response to Sunderland, which is our most recently opened store,” said Middlemiss.
“Master Debonair offers such a unique experience that we have people travelling to us from all over the country. We have one customer who travels regularly from Plymouth, just so he can buy directly from the shop.”
