FRASERS Group has said a move to take space over two floors in a Scottish shopping centre shows its commitment to bricks-and-mortar retailing.

The firm is to take 17,500 sq ft of space, with trading space of 11,000 sq ft, across two floors in The Centre, Livingston.

Frasers said it is to introduce Flannels to the outlet, adding it will bring a "vibrant collection of men’s, women’s and junior luxury designer clothing, footwear, and accessories from some of the world’s most coveted brands in fashion".
