Shock as Superdry store in Edinburgh closes suddenly with sign posted in window

A major retailer has closed its store in Edinburgh’s St James Quarter, with a sign having appeared in the window.

Superdry unexpectedly closed its St James Quarter shop, one of around 70 that the clothing brand operated around the UK. Customers were notified of the closure after a sign appeared in the window of the city centre store.

A notice in the store’s windows states: “This store is now closed. You can still shop the full collection at Superdry.com”

Superdry has occupied the unit on the shopping centre’s second floor since August 2021 - a move which created 20 new jobs in the city. The concept store was the brand’s first in Scotland.

Superdry and St James Quarter have both been approached for comment.
