St James Quarter signs up COS and Neom Organics

Fashion retailer COS has chosen St James Quarter for its first Edinburgh store, joining the likes of Boss, JD Sports, Zara and & Other Stories.

Spanning 7,483 sq ft, the new COS store joins the flurry of fashion, food and beverage signings including H&M Group's leading brand H&M.

Additionally, wellbeing brand Neom Organics will be opening a 601 sq ft store offering customers complimentary wellbeing advice and personalised consultations whilst they discover its products.

The retail centre added that it is now 95% let after signing COS and Neom to take new stores.

Chris Pyne, Head of Leasing at St James Quarter, said: “These new signings bring us a step closer to fully letting the galleria, and with the whole scheme now 95% let we have put ourselves an enviable position one year since opening.

“The centre has dealt remarkably well with the effects of the pandemic, with a continued positive response from our customer base translating to increased footfall levels and occupier demand from standout retail, cosmetic, leisure and F&B brands who can see the long-term appeal of the lifestyle-led retail destination that is St James Quarter.”

Last month, Cos announced it is expanding into the wholesale business for the first time, confirming three new partnerships with global ecommerce platform Yoox, Nordstrom and German department store Breuninger.
