Disney permanently closes its only Edinburgh store

Disney has closed its only Edinburgh store permanently, the Evening News understands.

A member of staff at the Gyle Shopping Centre confirmed the branch would not be re-opening its doors as the coronavirus lockdown eases.

Disney has not released an official statement, but the Evening News has contacted the company’s UK press office for comment.

Disney previously had a store on Edinburgh’s Princes Street, but the branch closed its doors several years ago, adding to the long list of city centre shops that have disappeared over the years.
