A shopper posted photos of the sale on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group and one shows a number of items slashed in price.
The branch is selling dresses for £7, tops for £3, jeans and shoes for £5, knitwear for £7 and jewellery from just £1.
The post reads: “New Look in Middlesbrough! Just look at them (sic) prices.”
The post has been liked over 500 times with hundreds commenting too.
One shopper said: “I went in yesterday, queue for the tills was literally out the door.”
Meanwhile, a second shopper simply said: “Road trip.”
It comes after New Look already pulled down the shutters on seven stores so far this year.
In January, it closed four branches in Birmingham, Trowbridge and Coventry.
