A MAJOR European retailer is set to open its fifth Scottish store later this month.
Danish family-owned brand Sostrene Grene will bring its signature Scandinavian-inspired lifestyle store to Livingstone Shopping centre later this month.
The store will open on Friday, November 22 at 10am.
With over 300 stores worldwide, the international retailer is known for a selection of homewares, soft furnishings, kitchen products, furniture, gifts, crafts and toys.
This marks the brand’s fifth location in Scotland, as it previously opened stores in Aberdeen, Dundee and two Glasgow stores, one at St Enoch and on Buchanan Street.
To celebrate the opening, the first 100 shoppers through the doors will receive a voucher for a rug (worth over £60), along with a canvas goodie bag full of Sostrene Grene products.
Mikkel Grene, CEO and co-owner of Sostrene Grene, said: “Bringing Sostrene Grene to Livingston will create a unique shopping experience for the community.
“Our brand’s focus on affordable, high-quality and beautifully designed products makes it so special, and it’s wonderful that Livingston customers will now have access to this delightful range.
“With such carefully curated items, each visit will be an inspiring journey, encouraging creativity and bringing a little more joy to everyday life.”
UK Joint Venture Partners, Norma Jacob and Richard Power run Sostrene Grene stores across Northern Ireland, Southern England and Scotland.
Norma Jacob said: “Bringing Sostrene Grene to Livingston will create a unique shopping experience for the whole community.
“Our brand’s focus on affordable, high-quality and beautifully designed products makes it so special and we can’t wait for The Centre, Livingston’s customers to have access to our festive range just in time for Christmas.”
Patrick Robbertze, centre director at The Centre, Livingston said: “The final countdown is now on to the opening of the new Sostrene Grene store at The Centre, Livingston which we are really excited about.
