Location
Nicolson Street is a prominent city centre thoroughfare linking the University of Edinburgh and the Southside with the Old Town. The street benefits from strong year round demand driven by a surrounding student population of 50,000, with trading levels further enhanced during the Edinburgh Festival where the cities population typically doubles to in excess of 1m people. The subjects occupy a highly visible position on the north side of Nicolson Street, directly opposite the Festival Theatre. Nearby occupiers comprise a strong mix of national and established local operators including Tesco Express, Pepe’s, Ryman, El Jefe’s and Black Medicine Coffee.
