A popular North East children’s spa has expanded with a new site.
Blossom Mini Day Spa & Pamper Parties, which has operated in Gateshead since 2020, has opened a new location at The Crescent, part of the Metrocentre in Upper Green Mall.
The new venture, called Be That Girl, offers wellness experiences and walk-in treatments.

The owner of Blossom Mini Day Spa & Pamper Parties and Be That Girl said: "I’ve had my eye on Metrocentre for several years now.
"It’s always been my safe space – somewhere I can go with my own children that has a lovely family feel – and I saw it as the perfect place to expand.
"When I read about plans for The Crescent, I took it as a sign to go for it."

He added: "Seeing my own children and young customers grow has inspired me to ensure the brand also evolves.
"There will be a whole range of new experiences catering for the latest trends, each delivered with the same unmistakeable magic, sparkle, and bottomless pink lemonade our young guests know and love."
The Gateshead spa, which has been fully booked since it launched, originally catered to children aged two to 14 with day spa packages.

Two years after opening, it expanded to include pamper party packages featuring special appearances by popular children’s characters and princesses.
Be That Girl will now occupy two adjacent units at The Crescent, Metrocentre’s dedicated indie hub.
Customers can book treatments online or drop in for mini spa services or a personalised luxury lip oil experience.
The business recently expanded its team from six to 13 part-time staff and expects to hire an additional three to four employees soon.

Noah Knapton, asset manager at Sovereign Centros from CBRE, asset managers of Metrocentre, said: "Welcoming Be That Girl perfectly sums up the vision of The Crescent.
"It’s a place where new and growing independent businesses can feel confident and supported bringing their ambitions to life, and where customers can discover something different.
"With each new signing, the unique character of the dedicated indie hub is really starting to take shape, with several more announcements expected in the months ahead."
