Hollister's Scottish debut brings record footfall to Union Square
Published: 29 March, 2010
Scotland's first Hollister store prompted one of Union Square's busiest shopping weekends on record, with footfall up 10,000 on the Christmas shopping weekend.
The launch of the iconoic American fashion retailer, which took place on Friday 26 March, took the total footfall since the centre's opening to 4.8 million. It marked a huge increase in weekend footfall, beating even the busy Christmas period.
The launch weekend made the top three highest footfall weekends of the year so far. Saturday’s footfall alone was the second highest of the year, up nearly 6,000 from the previous weekend.
Sheila King, Group Retail Leasing Director for Hammerson commented: “We knew Hollister would be a popular store for shoppers and Hollister’s addition to the fashion line up further enhances both Union Square’s and Aberdeen’s status as quality shopping destinations. It is a massive brand that has created a lot of attention since its UK launch at Brent Cross.”
