JD Sports upsizes at Stirling

JD Sports has opened a new 5,241 square foot store in the Thistles shopping centre in Stirling.

Situated opposite Superdrug, the space is three times larger than the sports fashion retailer’s previous store and will stock more ranges across fashion, footwear and accessories. Brands will include the likes of Nike, Adidas and The North Face.

Customers on the opening weekend were entertained by an in-store DJ and an interactive Labyrinth game where they could compete against one another to get a ball through the maze in the fastest time. The top scorers on Saturday and Sunday each won a £100 voucher to spend in-store.

James Air, head of group acquisitions at JD Sports, said: “It was a pleasure to work with the Thistles team and their leasing agent Stuart Moncur at Savills to deliver our significantly larger store in Stirling. We wanted to ensure that we moved to the best available space for JD in the scheme which took some time and was a real team effort. We now have a superb store which will stock a far broader collection of new brands, whilst also delivering enhanced, upgraded ranges of the existing favourites.”

Gary Turnbull, centre director at Thistles, said: “JD is a firm favourite with our shoppers, and we’re delighted to see the brand invest in a larger retail space in the centre, cementing their commitment to Stirling.”
