Livingston Designer Outlet has secured a significant upsizing and relocation of global sportswear brand Nike, increasing the brand’s footprint at the destination which is performing strongly in a subdued retail environment.
The Outlet recently reported sales growth of 16% year-on-year and a 18% increase in footfall. Sportswear has continued to be a key driver of that momentum, with the centre’s sports category recording 8% year-on-year sales growth, reinforcing demand for premium performance and lifestyle brands.
Scheduled to open in late September 2026, the near-doubling of the Nike store forms part of a wider programme of enhancements across the venue.
Owner Global Mutual is creating opportunities for leading brands to grow their presence. The lastest agreement positions Nike alongside other internationally recognised sportswear brands including Adidas, Puma, New Balance and Under Armour.
The deal builds on a period of strong leasing momentum and continued investment across the Outlet. Recent activity includes refit commitments from Castore and Next, alongside new lettings to Flip Out, Tikka Nation and Hamilton & Brown.
Nicky Lovell, head of outlets and retail business and development at Global Mutual said: “The upsizing and relocation of Nike is a clear example of our proactive asset management at Livingston Designer Outlet.
“Over the past 12 months, we have been investing in the scheme to optimise the retail offer and strengthen our brand mix through unit reconfiguration.
“This latest commitment from Nike reflects both the strength of the destination and the confidence in our long-term strategy.
“By continuing to invest in the asset and work closely with our brand partners, we are creating a more compelling, high-performing environment for both retailers and customers.”
