17 July 2019
Scottish retailers are moving to the bigger cities and relying on online sales and satellite service centres to fill gaps in coverage around towns, according to a new report by estate agent Rapleys.
Citing recent developments over the past 12 months from Peter Vardy in Dundee, Arnold Clark in Aberdeen and Edinburgh, Sytner in Edinburgh, Eastern Western in Dundee and Stirling and others, the commercial real estate specialists, Rapleys, said: “Dealers will seek even greater efficiencies and the network concentration will remain in the core cities and towns, which will be supported by online sales and regional service centres.”
