This marks the brand’s fifth location in Scotland, as it previously opened stores in Aberdeen, Dundee and two Glasgow stores, one at St Enoch and on Buchanan Street.
To celebrate the opening, the first 100 shoppers through the doors will receive a voucher for a rug (worth over £60), along with a canvas goodie bag full of Sostrene Grene products.
Mikkel Grene, CEO and co-owner of Sostrene Grene, said: “Bringing Sostrene Grene to Livingston will create a unique shopping experience for the community.
“Our brand’s focus on affordable, high-quality and beautifully designed products makes it so special, and it’s wonderful that Livingston customers will now have access to this delightful range.
“With such carefully curated items, each visit will be an inspiring journey, encouraging creativity and bringing a little more joy to everyday life.”
UK Joint Venture Partners, Norma Jacob and Richard Power run Sostrene Grene stores across Northern Ireland, Southern England and Scotland.
Norma Jacob said: “Bringing Sostrene Grene to Livingston will create a unique shopping experience for the whole community.
“Our brand’s focus on affordable, high-quality and beautifully designed products makes it so special and we can’t wait for The Centre, Livingston’s customers to have access to our festive range just in time for Christmas.”
Patrick Robbertze, centre director at The Centre, Livingston said: “The final countdown is now on to the opening of the new Sostrene Grene store at The Centre, Livingston which we are really excited about.
“There’s been a fantastic buzz in the shopping centre since the signage appeared and we’re expecting a big turn out on the launch day when shoppers can pick up some beautiful Scandi-inspired Christmas gifts and of course, treat themselves too.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
