Four new lettings at Gyle Shopping Centre, Edinburgh

Footfall jumps ups at The Gyle as four new lettings are confirmed and due to open in Autumn.

Fast-growing Danish retailer Søstrene Grene has taken the former Gap unit on the ground floor, extending to 4,750 sq ft. At the same end of the shopping centre, Black Sheep Coffee will occupy a 2,335 sq ft unit, and will additionally benefit from external seating.

Elsewhere, Rituals has taken a 2,309 sq ft unit, with an additional 1,163 sq ft mezzanine, while jewellery brand Nomination has agreed to take a 464 sq ft unit.

The new occupiers join existing brands that have joined the line up at Gyle in the past year including The Entertainer, Grape Tree, Nando’s and Lovisa. Boots, Starbucks and Pandora are among other brands to have renewed their leases at Gyle.

Footfall at Gyle has increased consistently year on year, with 2025 up 4% on 2024, and so far 2026 footfall is up 3.8% on last year.

Sophie Shannon, Director at NewRiver, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Søstrene Grene to The Gyle, alongside Black Sheep Coffee, Rituals and Nomination, further strengthening the centre’s offer and building on the significant leasing momentum we have delivered as part of our business plan. With new brands joining an already strong line-up, increasing footfall and continued commitment from existing occupiers, The Gyle is very much reinforcing its position as one of Edinburgh’s leading retail destinations.”

Stuart Moncur, head of national retail at Savills, commented: “These four lettings are important deals for Gyle, which is seeing significant success. Footfall is increasing and the centre continues to attract high-quality brands, both as new occupiers and existing tenants choosing to extend their leases. We’re looking forward to seeing these new stores open in the autumn.”
