A favoured sportswear shop with two branches across Edinburgh has announced its new location in the heart of Stockbridge, opening next month.
Bruntsfield Sports took to Facebook to share the good news with its customers. The brand's representatives said: "We are incredibly excited to announce our brand new store opening in Stockbridge, Edinburgh!"
The new store will move into a place previously occupied by William Hill at 29 Raeburn Place. The company currently has two other shops in the capital: one at 233 Morningside Road and another one at 89b Glasgow Road.
Greg Nicolson, the owner of the business, said: "We have always had a Stockbridge store in the business plan since we purchased Bruntsfield Sports almost seven years ago. The area and community is a great fit for us, and we are really excited to bring Bruntsfield Sports and our 40 years of experience and expertise to the North side of the city.
"Raeburn Place has a similar feel to our Morningside Road location with a great community cast number of local businesses. It really is perfect for our expansion, as we have multiple schools, sporting clubs right on our doorstep and a very active local community."
The new spot will be the company's most central location, guaranteed to attract many new customers to the business.
Stockbridge on the Water of Leith is undoubtedly one of Edinburgh's most beautiful and unique areas, with its own village-like feel and stunning Victorian terraced houses. While the area feels reasonably relaxed and stress-free, it bursts with activities, vibrant cafes and uniques shops.
Stockbridge is also home to some of Edinburgh's trending gastropubs, like The Scran and Scallie, serving contemporary Scottish cuisine.
