Frasers Group, which bought Overgate in March 2023, is set to open its next-generation store in late Spring 2025.

The location will bring customers global premium, lifestyle and sport brands across fashion, homewares and beauty. It will also feature more brands from the group’s ecosystem including Sports Direct, USC, Evans Cycle and GAME.

Furthermore, Overgate has recently signed five new leases with leading high street brands, including Søstrene Grene which opened last month and Muffin Break, which is relocating to the ground floor. Other new leases signed include Castore, Mooboo Bubble Tea and Cinnabon, with doors set to open in the coming months. Overgate is also in the final stages of signing a new high street fashion brand and a footwear retailer, further elevating the centre’s retail offering.

Following the acquisition by Frasers Group in March 2023, Overgate Shopping Centre has been undergoing a substantial transformation with a number of new brands introduced for customers including Rituals, Pandora, Lovisa, Bee Inspired, and The Leith Collective, as well as existing retailers reinvesting back into their stores with refits, refurbishments and the renewal of over 15 leases.

Malcolm Angus, centre manager, Overgate Shopping Centre said: “We have had a busy 18 months since Frasers Group invested in the Overgate Shopping Centre, to date bringing over 12 new exciting brands to the centre.

“Frasers Group has also renewed leases with the brands we know our customers love, with several so far reinvesting into updating their store aesthetic and product offering.

“The opening of the 70,000 sq ft Frasers store next year will be a transformational moment for Overgate, for the city, and for the wider region, regenerating this landmark space with an exceptional retail experience synonymous with Frasers Group. We are very much advancing the vision and commencement of works at pace.”
