Homestore & More chooses Edinburgh for first UK store
Irish homewares retailer Homestore & More has opened its first UK store at Craigleith Retail Park in Edinburgh.
The retailer has taken an 18,340 square foot store on a 15-year lease.
In addition, Card Factory and Starbucks have both agreed new 10-year leases on 2,000 square feet units while Toys R Us has committed to a 12,000 square foot shop which will open this autumn.
Mike Spens, a director in the retail team at Savills Scotland, said: “We are extremely pleased to announce these latest lettings at Craigleith, which will be a major draw to the park reinforcing its attraction as a location and its already strong retail offer.”
Meanwhile, Currys has relocated on the park to a new Dixons Carphone. Other retailers at Craigleith include M&S, TK Maxx, Boots and Homebase.
Mark Cruddas, senior portfolio and investment manager at TH Real Estate, said: “We have recently undertaken a refurbishment programme, investing significantly in the repositioning of the park. These new lettings, especially Homestore & More’s first UK store, will help to breathe new life into the park, delivering an enhanced retail experience for our customers.”
