On A Visit to House of Frasers
Nov. 6th, 2018 02:56 pmI've just returned from a sad lunch time wander around the House of Frasers store on Princes Street. It is closing on the 10th and all the stock and lots of the fixtures and fittings are to be sold.
There wasn't much left by the time I got there. A couple of loud checked jackets and a few pairs of Charnos stockings.
I bought a pair of hiking shoes to replace the hiking shoes I bought in Portland 4 and a half years ago.
Even the shop fittings have mostly been sold.
I'm not sure what happens to the high street. That shop is a large space to fill on Edinburgh's Princes Street. I can't see any other retail outfit taking that amount of space.
We're short housing, office and hotel space in Edinburgh - so the building will become something useful soon but that isn't the same as being a shop.
Meanwhile, if you want some coat hangers, checkered jackets or stockings - House of Fraser is the place to go.
