An opening date for a huge new Adidas store at Edinburgh’s Fort Kinnaird shopping park has been confirmed.
The sportswear giant is set to open its first ‘Pulse’ store in the UK at the retail park – replacing the former Wilko store. In April we reported how planning permission was submitted for the store’s external signage.
Now, Adidas has confirmed an opening date of Friday, June 28. The ‘Pulse’ store will be the brand’s first in the UK, giving visitors the chance to shop a “broad range of Adidas’ most popular products.”

Included in the extensive range will be trainers, gymwear and running gear and accessories. Adidas says the Pulse store “reflects commercial demand and consumer need” with design treatment to digital content.
On Friday, a DJ will entertain shoppers after the store officially opens, with customers also being treated to branded snacks and bags upon purchase while having to chance to win prizes and gift vouchers.

Liam Smith, centre director at Fort Kinnaird, said: “It’s incredibly exciting that adidas has chosen Fort Kinnaird as the first location in the UK to open its new Pulse store. It’s no secret how popular the brand is and we have no doubt the store will prove to be successful with our shoppers – whether they’re looking for a pair of new trainers or getting some of the latest gym wear.
“It’s a really exciting time for us, with Mango also opening recently, our different options for fashion are really growing.”
