Straiton Retail Park extension given the go ahead
The new glass-fronted building will sit fronting Straiton Road and will house up to 11 new tenants, with Greggs, Starbucks, Card Factory and Archers Sleep Centre already confirming spaces within the units.
Leah Taylor, development manager at Peel Retail Parks, who own the 260,000 sq ft site, said: “This is fantastic news for Straiton Retail Park and its customers. In recent years, we have seen the park go from strength to strength with an ever-increasing number of shoppers visiting us each year.

We’re in very advanced negotiations with a number of national retailers for the remaining units.”
The scheme is being funded through a development facility from Royal Bank of Scotland’s corporate banking team.
Duncan Mayall, relationship director at RBS, said: “Peel Retail Parks’ investment into Straiton Retail Park will enhance the local area, support the regional economy and create a number of new jobs in the process.
“We have a long relationship with Peel, having supported many of their activities, and we are really pleased to be working with the team at Peel Retail Park on their investment.”
