Luxury retail group Frasers is poised to make a significant impact on Dundee’s shopping landscape with the announcement of a new store opening in May.

The move marks a notable expansion for the company, bringing its high-end retail experience to Scotland’s fourth-largest city.

The new Frasers store is slated to occupy a prime location in Dundee’s city centre, offering local shoppers access to a wide range of premium brands and products.

While specific details about the store’s size and layout have not been disclosed, it is expected to follow the group’s signature format, featuring multiple departments across fashion, beauty, and homeware.

This development is likely to be welcomed by local authorities and residents alike, as it promises to:

  • Create new job opportunities in the retail sector
  • Boost footfall in the city centre
  • Enhance Dundee’s reputation as a shopping destination

The decision to open a store in Dundee aligns with Frasers Group’s ongoing strategy to expand its presence in key UK locations.

This move demonstrates the company’s confidence in the Scottish retail market and its commitment to investing in brick-and-mortar stores despite the challenging climate for high street retailers.

Malcolm Angus, centre manager, Overgate Shopping Centre, said: “The FRASERS concept store is one of the largest shop fit-outs Dundee has ever seen. E

“verything, on every level, will be brand new. Once complete, FRASERS will be a remarkable modern department store that will transform Overgate, regenerate the city of Dundee, and strengthen the east coast of Scotland’s retail offering.

“The plan is for FRASERS and Flannels to open at the same time; the Flannels project alone is significant and will be a game changer in driving footfall to the centre.

“Overgate welcomed around eight million visitors in 2024 and we expect that to rise significantly in 2025. It’s going to be a very busy and exciting first half of the year.”

Shoppers and fashion enthusiasts in Dundee and the surrounding areas can look forward to exploring the new Frasers store when it opens its doors in May.

The exact opening date has yet to be announced, but it is expected to be a significant event in the city’s retail calendar.

As the opening day approaches, more details about the store’s offerings, special events, and potential opening promotions are likely to be revealed.

Local residents and visitors to Dundee will soon have the opportunity to experience Frasers’ blend of luxury and high street fashion in their own city.
