Darts retailer scores first Scottish store at The Centre Livingston

Darts retailer Arrowheadz is set to open its first store in Scotland and its second in the UK at The Centre, Livingston.

The 2,343 sq ft store will feature six high tech dart playing lanes, featuring an automated, real-time scoring system and game analytics. Four of these lanes will be available for hire whilst two will be ‘try before you buy’ lanes.

ArrowHeadz – which opened its debut store at Norwich’s Castle Quarter last year – will add to the existing mix of stores and restaurants at the shopping centre, including M&S, Flannels, River Island, H&M, JD Sports, Lush, Wagamama, and Nando’s. New arrivals at The Centre Livingston over the last year include Scotland’s first Cinnabon, Las Iguanas, Rituals, Søstrene Grene, Starbucks, and, most recently, the jewellers F.Hinds.

Scheme owner LCP UK, part of M Core, has also announced plans to expand into the leisure sector with Hollywood Bowl opening a 26,000 sq ft venue next year featuring 22 bowling lanes, an arcade, and a bar and diner.

Rakesh Joshi, director at LCP UK, said: “We are delighted to welcome the leading darts equipment and accessories store, ArrowHeadz, to The Centre, Livingston, which is a great time for us as we continue to add to our extensive offering of places to ‘shop, eat and play’ for our visitors.

“The cutting-edge lanes are guaranteed to be a big hit with fans of the sport and those who are trying it out for the first time who can enjoy an authentic darts-playing experience.”
