An opening date has not been confirmed but the store is expected to arrive in Spring 2027.

A spokesperson for the company said: “The Edinburgh store will strengthen the brand’s physical presence in the UK whilst offering customers the opportunity to experience Arc’teryx’s latest technologies and technical products up close.

“The new store will also serve as a meeting point for local community, creating a space for connection, exchange, and inspiration.”

The company will be recruiting for a number of roles in Edinburgh in the coming months, including a store manager and assistant manager.

Edinburgh is set to welcome a number of new openings this year, including the much-anticipated Tala store in St James Quarter, Scandinavian waterproof brand Rains and the Italian fashion label Subdued.
