Nike to nearly double store size at Livingston Designer Outlet

Nike is set to nearly double the size of its store at Livingston Designer Outlet as part of a relocation within the Scottish shopping destination. 

Scheduled to open in late September 2026, the expanded store will offer a larger range of the brand’s apparel, footwear and accessories across both lifestyle and performance categories. 

The expansion comes shortly after Nike reported flat full-year revenue of $46.4 billion (£34.8 billion) for fiscal 2026, as continued weakness in Greater China offset growth in its wholesale business. 

Nike will join other sports and lifestyle brands including Adidas, Puma, New Balance and Under Armour. 

The agreement follows a strong trading period for Livingston Designer Outlet, which recently reported year-on-year sales growth of 16% alongside an 18% increase in footfall. The outlet said sportswear continues to be one of its strongest-performing categories, with sales in the sector increasing by 8% over the same period.

The centre said its sportswear category recorded sales growth of 8% over the same period.

Nicky Lovell, Head of Outlets and Retail Business Development at Global Mutual, said: “The upsizing and relocation of Nike is a clear example of our proactive asset management at Livingston Designer Outlet.

“Over the past 12 months, we have been investing in the scheme to optimise the retail offer and strengthen our brand mix through unit reconfiguration. This latest commitment from Nike reflects both the strength of the destination and the confidence in our long-term strategy.”

The expansion builds on a period of leasing activity at the outlet, including refits by Castore and NEXT, as well as new lettings to Flip Out, Tikka Nation and Hamilton & Brown. The latest investment forms part of Global Mutual's wider programme to strengthen the destination's retail and leisure mix while creating additional opportunities for brands to expand their presence.
