American clothing brand Hollister open Edinburgh outlet at St James Quarter

American clothing brand Hollister are set to open their new Edinburgh store at St James Quarter on Friday.

Following the closure of their huge George Street shop last year, Hollister are the latest addition to the £1billion shopping centre and have announced their grand re-opening will take place on April 28.

Arriving in perfect time ahead of the summer season, Hollister announced their opening date via Instagram and are set to join a whole host of retail giants already situated within St James.

On Thursday, April 27, St James Quarter posted: "Celebrating the arrival of exciting new brands... Hollister opens this Friday, 28th April.

Perfect timing to update your wardrobe for the new season, shop carefree styles that allow you to live in a summer mindset all year long. Because at Hollister, summer isn’t just a season, it’s a state of mind."

The former Hollister store on George Street has been the centre of attention for planners who wish to turn the building into a darts-themed restaurant and pub.

In May 2022, the council received a planning application on behalf of Oche, an interactive, darts based competitive socialising concept but unlike other competitive gaming venues they put a lot more focus on their restaurant, and creating a ‘Gastro Gaming ’ experience for their customers.

Punters book 90 minute experiences in their ‘Oches,’ where they are served premium food and beverages. During this time they play a number of Darts based games using state of the art cameras and gaming technology.
