Gerry Weber shop comes to The Avenue

THE Avenue Shopping Centre in Newton Mearns has secured the first Gerry Weber retail outlet in Scotland.

One of the most famous and successful German fashion and lifestyle companies, Gerry Weber will open its doors at The Avenue this Spring.

The international fashion retailer, which has more than 860 Houses of Gerry Weber and mono-label stores worldwide and more than 2,850 shop areas and successful brand online-shops, has signed a lease on a key unit at The Avenue within the main atrium adjacent to the M&S anchor tenant and the popular Primavera Bistro.

Michelle McCabe, Centre Manager at The Avenue, said: “We’re delighted that Gerry Weber has chosen to locate its first ever Scottish store in The Avenue. For such a renowned international fashion retailer to select Newton Mearns as the location for its entry into the Scottish market stands as testament to the quality of the retail experience on offer to both retailers and shoppers at The Avenue.

“Yet Gerry Weber is not only the recent ‘first’ for The Avenue – another Scottish ‘first’ was our gaining of WorldHost Customer Service Destination Status.”

In addition to Gerry Weber, a string of other new tenants have joined the Avenue line-up over recent weeks, adding to the diverse retail experience on offer at the popular retail location. These include: Sass & Hyde, a boutique selling fashion bags, luggage, purses and matching small items; ladies hairdresses Liv Beauty; white goods shop Taylor’s of Giffnock and KP’s Fishmonger.

“We’re delighted to welcome Gerry Weber and our other new retailers to the Avenue – and are confident that more will be announced over the coming months,” said McCabe.

Best-selling crime writer James Oswald will be at The Avenue Shopping Centre in Newton Mearns to discuss and sign copies of The Hangman’s Song in a free event organised by Waterstone’s at Primavera on Tuesday 4th March 7pm till 8.30pm.

The Hangman’s Song is the third novel in Oswald’s Inspector McLean series which is set in Edinburgh. The plot starts with a young man found hanging by a rope in his Edinburgh home. A simple, sad suicide, yet Detective Inspector Tony McLean is puzzled by the curious suicide note.

A second hanged man and another strange note hint at a sinister pattern. Investigating a brutal prostitution and human trafficking ring, McLean struggles to find time to link the two suicides. But the discovery of a third convinces him of malicious intent.

Digging deeper, McLean finds answers much closer to home than he expects. Something terrifying stalks the city streets, and bringing it to justice may destroy all he holds dear.

Oswald’s first two Detective Inspector McLean books have been massive bestsellers – reaching the top of national charts – and the first was a Richard and Judy book club pick. He has also written an epic fantasy series, as well as comic scripts and short stories.

In his spare time Oswald runs a 350-acre livestock farm in North East Fife, where he raises pedigree Highland cattle and New Zealand Romney sheep.
