Schuh to open flagship store at Edinburgh’s St James Quarter

Schuh is set to open a flagship Scottish store at St James Quarter in Edinburgh.

The footwear brand has agreed to take a 5,500 sq ft space on Level One of the Galleria, joining retailers such as Superdrug, Boots, and Moss.

Schuh’s new store will feature the brand’s revamped concept, which includes digital screens, a redesigned layout, and updated product displays.

The arrival of Schuh – which itself was founded in Edinburgh – will bring Level One of St James Quarter to 100% let.

Chris Pyne, leasing director for St James Quarter, said: “Schuh is a great addition to St James Quarter, adding even more choice to our comprehensive retail offer that is now Scotland’s go-to location for leading UK and international brands. For a brand with depth in Scotland to choose the Quarter for its launch of a brand-new concept store underlines the confidence retailers have in St James Quarter as the number one retail destination in Scotland.”

The signing of Schuh follows the recent opening of POLO Ralph Lauren on St James Quarter’s Level Three.
