Livingston Designer Outlet expands F&B offer with new signings

Livingston Designer Outlet is set to strengthen its food and beverage lineup with the addition of a number of new brands.

Tikka Nation will become the first new brand to join the outlet shopping destination, opening its doors this Saturday. The new arrival is set to bring contemporary street food to Livingston Designer Outlet, giving customers a casual dining experience with a strong appeal for families and younger visitors.

Meanwhile Sides, the fried chicken restaurant chain led by YouTuber collective The Sidemen, will also join the centre’s line up this spring.

Finally, local delicatessen and tasting bar Hamilton & Brown is also set to open this spring too.

Collectively, the new openings will look to continue to drive momentum for the F&B category at Livingston Designer Outlet, which accounted for 18% of total sales in 2025.

Alongside its growing F&B portfolio, Livingston Designer Outlet has looked to broaden its overall destination appeal. The recent announcement of immersive entertainment space, Flip Out, is set to join its leisure lineup alongside the existing offering which includes Vue cinema.

Nicky Lovell, head of outlets and business development at Global Mutual, said: “Demand for high quality F&B offerings continues to grow, and the new openings demonstrate the confidence in Livingston Designer Outlet as a destination where these brands can succeed. With F&B accounting for a significant share of sales, the category is playing an increasingly important role in driving footfall. The addition of Tikka Nation along Sides and Hamilton & Brown, strengthens our existing offer and supports the goal of becoming a key regional destination for retail, dining of leisure.”
