One of Scotland's premier shopping destinations is gearing up for Christmas with the launch of two new retailers creating 40 jobs in Aberdeen.

The new positions at Union Square are the result of the opening of Italian cosmetic brand KIKO Milano and one of Britain's favourite toy stores, Toys "R" Us.

Known for its bright colours and affordable prices, KIKO MIlano are set to open their first store in Aberdeen offering a wide selection of cosmetics, skincare and beauty accessories.

Toys "R" Us will bring the latest and most popular toys into Union Square where friendly toy experts will ensure choosing the right toys for families is both easy and convenient.

Ryan Manson, General Manager at Union Square said: "We are delighted to welcome both KIKO Milano and Toys "R" Us to Union Square. I have no doubt that customers will be excited to see these fantastic new brands opening and will make the most of them as we move into the Christmas shopping season."

In addition to these two new openings, Union Square recently announced the opening of Mexican eatery Barburrito and welcomed a number of new tenants in the past year including luxury retailer Michael Kors and premier burger outlet Byron.
