Columbia to open only Scottish store at Livingston Designer Outlet

Columbia is set to open its first and only store in Scotland at Livingston Designer Outlet.

Opening in October, the 2,359 sq ft store will feature a range of clothing, footwear, and accessories designed for outdoor activities as well as exclusive items, available for men and women.

Columbia’s only Scottish store will add to an existing line-up of premium outdoor brands at Livingston Designer Outlet, joining the likes of The North Face and Regatta Great Outdoors.

Nicky Lovell, head of outlets and retail development at Global Mutual, said: “We are pleased with the high-quality outdoor retail offering we have developed at Livingston Designer Outlet, and the arrival of Columbia adds to this significantly. The brand’s first Scottish store is an exciting addition for our existing and new customers, whilst it also aligns with our vision to grow quality retail offering and provided added value within the centre.”

Marcel Miséré, Europe retail director from Columbia Sportswear, added: “We’re seeing exceptional performance across our European and UK locations, with strong like-for-like sales growth. We’re confident that our new store in Livingston will contribute meaningfully to this momentum and strengthen our presence in the UK market. As we look ahead, we remain committed to expanding our footprint across Europe and the UK, with several exciting store openings planned in the coming year.”
