STACK Middlesbrough is set to open near Exchange Square before Christmas
Work has started to deliver Middlesbrough’s new STACK leisure destination.
The STACK team are on site beneath the A66 flyover as it meets Exchange Square, close to Middlesbrough Railway Station.
The pop-up container village is aiming to open before Christmas and will use 25 shipping containers to feature six street food vendors, three bars and a stage for live music.
And the team has now put out a call for top street food vendors to get in touch to feature fantastic local cuisine at the venue.
Other STACKs across the UK offer everything from artisan pizzas and bao buns to handcrafted burgers, mac and cheese, authentic Indian food and Greek specialties.
STACK’s own food brands Holy Duck and pizza emporium ZZA will be featured, and the company is now looking for a high end, eclectic mix of North East street food providers of other cuisines, which will fit within STACK’s signature brand.
“High quality food is a vital part of STACK’s success and we are looking for people who can provide authentic street food from around the world,” said Neill Winch, CEO of STACK.
“And, once you’re part of the STACK family, we throw in a huge amount of support in the form of marketing and promotional activity to raise awareness of the brand and drive footfall to the units.”

Middlesbrough Mayor, Chris Cooke, said: “It’s great news that work is starting on the STACK site.
“STACK will be a great addition to Middlesbrough and will complement the many brilliant independent businesses in our town centre.
“There’s an opportunity for local traders to get involved and put a real Middlesbrough stamp on what STACK offers.”
Cllr Theo Furness, Executive member for Regeneration at Middlesbrough Council, added: “I was really encouraged by what I saw on my visit to STACK in Seaburn and I’m confident that we can do it even better here in Middlesbrough.
“STACK’s knowledge and expertise combined with our brilliant local businesses will bring thousands of visitors to our town centre, supporting jobs and our local economy.”
