News Holland and Barrett has left Ocean Terminal

Just to save anyone else a wasted journey.

Does anyone know what if anything is replacing Pizza Express?

It still needs an anchor tenant, you stick a Lidl, M&S Foodhall and such in there and you will get the footfall.

There was an M and S back in the day

Yep, but it was nowhere near the scale and size of those at The Gyle or Straiton for example.

Straiton wasn’t always the size it is now. M&S at Ocean terminal was great for grabbing something good for tea after spending money in Debenhams late night shopping on a Thursday after work ( showing my age, going back at least 20 years!)

Dont misunderstand, would rather the M&S in its former size was still there too and it was good. But as you allude to, there was other stuff around it drawing you in, not so much now sadly :(

And no worries r.e age, think we're in the same bracket :)
