St Giles Shopping Centre in Elgin will close soon, affecting local businesses and shoppers alike as they prepare for the transition.
Elgin: St Giles Shopping Centre is closing its doors this month. It’s a big change for the local community and the businesses inside.
Recently, the businesses were informed they need to move out. It’s a tough situation, especially for those who have been there for a while.
This closure comes after Moray Council decided to take legal action over unpaid rates, which have piled up to around £750,000. That’s a hefty sum!
The centre has been home to shops like Argos, EE, and Waterstones since it opened in 1991. But now, it seems like it’s time to say goodbye.
There are also some empty units that used to house popular stores like Monsoon and Superdrug. It’s a bit sad to see so many spaces unoccupied.
Upland Developments, the owners of the centre, have been asked for their thoughts on the situation, but we’re still waiting to hear back.
It’s a big change for Elgin, and many will be affected by this closure. Let’s hope for a smooth transition for everyone involved.
