Craigleith Retail Park — Attraction in City of Edinburgh

Good variety of shops, to ensure you can get majority of things you'd require. Argos has moved inside of Sainsbury's, but the facility is there all the same. Also the click and collect option. There are fashion clothes shops, grocery shopping, takeaway food, a few of selections of where to grab a coffee, there's a Homebase for gardening and DIY etc and home type stores to buy house accessories and some furniture. A Boots store to get cosmetics. There have been a few shops shut and opened. So if you've not been for a while check where you want to go still exists. There's a Currys PC world bow and there's no longer a Mothercare. Argos has relocated to inside Sainsbury's store. New look, Mark's and Spencer is still there and Sainsbury's. Also Costa and other's previously mentioned. Enjoy! Only reason there's not 5 stars is purely for the fact that craigleith is terrible for pedestrians. It's completely designed for people with cars. The bus services are poor and irregular. There are more services on the queensferry rd. However, anyone unable to walk far or have difficult walking on an incline, are stuck to get just the few options of buses. Which only stop outside Sainsbury's. The whole other side of craigleith is only accessible via car, or walking over a zebra crossing that I think it placed in a dangerous position. It's not particularly easy to get from one side of craigleith retail park to the other ( which is pretty much just Sainsbury's and timpsons) if you have any physical disabilities. You must may attention at all times as due to the lack of pedestrian crossings it's just like cutting over a car park, where you've no idea which direction the cars are coming from. There are far too many shops to be able to view them all in one day. Can't think of much you'd not be able to get from here, within the variety of...

Since a few shops had shut down. In its place is finally new shops. 1 is currys PC. Where new look used to be. Another good place with a variety of shops and cafes such has costa... And KFC there. The new argos is in sainsburys. Homebase and nike shop. Also Tkmax and home store. Very interesting shop to walk around. And , Mark's and Spencer , Trespass , and theres coffee shops. Still only KFC for fast food. Or walk to telford road for McDonald's. I would like to see more food options. Subway , Gregg's. Theres enough staff in and around these shops to start with let alone a whole variety of customers coming through. So why not more restaurants please. And the little park at side of garage , ppfft, do something better for the little kiddies. This park is tiny to say the least. No more than 2 or 3 toddlers can go about this tiny park. So , yeah its pointless tbh. More for kids to do would be great and such a better benefit to going to craigleith and then letting ur little one enjoy there freedom befor going home or before...

Sainsburys during pandemic... prior to masks being mandatory.. not all staff wearing masks and very few customers. Had to stand in a queue in the rain, so be prepared. Also be prepared that the numbers are limited inside, but that doesn't mean everybody observes social distancing (there was a reminder after every few songs), a lot of people ignoring this. Well stocked shelves. Check outs were well organised and plastic between cashier and customer. Did not see any wipes for using card machine or hand gel for after. Didn't see any hand gel coming in or out so remember your own. Also never spied any wipes or spray for handles of baskets or trolleys. Again, good idea to bring your own mask, hand gel and wipes...oh and umbrella if its raining depending on how long...
