A GLOBAL superbrand has shut one of its enormous UK outlets in a massive blow to high street shoppers.
Rumours had circulated in January that the store could close due to a failure of the company to secure a new lease agreement with its landlords.
Now, we can confirm the Nike store at Craigleith Retail Park in Edinburgh, Scotland, has closed for good.
The storefront at the busy retail park in Scotland’s second largest city was seen painted over in black.
It had been previously understood that the Nike store would shut its doors on January 26.
In a document to staff, shared with Edinburgh Live, Nike had confirmed there could be “proposed redundancies”.
The sportswear retailer indicated that the job losses would come as a result of the failure to secure a new lease agreement at the site.
Its letter to staff read: “Based on results and on Nike being unable to agree a new lease agreement with the landlords, Nike is proposing the closure of Edinburgh Craigleith with an anticipated last trading date of 26th January 2025 resulting in a proposed redundancy situation.”
Shoppers have been mourning the “sad” loss of the store, with one saying: “That’s a shame.
“Have bought a lot of things in it for birthdays/xmas at good prices.
“I’ll miss it.”
Another added: “That’s sad.
“It’s what happens when everyone shops online.
“Shops are closing almost every week now”.
Some were frustrated by the loss of the “very popular” store, calling its closure “pretty annoying”, while others felt “gutted” by the situation.
Another highlighted the recent losses of other stores in the same retail park.
They said: “Ooo no Craigleith has lost Clarks few years ago now Nike.
“Less and less decent shops there.”
A Nike spokesperson had previously said: “We constantly evaluate our store locations to give us the best opportunity to personally connect with consumers through premium products, experiences, and services.
“As part of this retail strategy, the Nike Craigleith Store will close per January 26.”
This comes as one of Britain’s oldest department stores launched a closing down sale just months before its last remaining shop shuts for good.
Beales, which was founded in Bournemouth in 1881, will close its branch in Poole’s Dolphin Centre on May 31.
Starting today, the sale will clear all the remaining stock in the store before it closes its doors for good.
Items including furniture, fashion, gifts and cosmetics are being sold for up to 70 per cent off.
Beales chief executive Tony Brown blamed the “devastating impact” of the rise in national insurance contributions and the higher minimum wage for the shop shutting.
When the closure was announced, he said the business had become “unviable” as it prepared to take on further cost increases which were announced in the October Budget.
POPE Francis is “stable” but will remain in hospital as medics treat him for a “complex” condition, The Vatican announced.
The pontiff, 88, was hospitalised on February 14, where he has been staying for treatment of a respiratory infection.
Details of his illness emerged this afternoon, when The Vatican announced the Pope would be staying in hospital after complications were discovered.
But this evening, Catholics around the world received the welcome news that their leader was stable and without fever.
A statement from the Vatican read: “The Holy Father continues to be afebrile [without fever] and is continuing the prescribed therapy.
“His clinical conditions are stable.
“This morning he received the Eucharist and subsequently dedicated himself to some work activities and reading texts.”
Pope Francis is said to be “touched” by the outpouring of support he has received, which includes messages of affection and drawings.
He is particularly grateful for well wishes from other people currently staying in hospital, The Vatican said.
The Pope has been under close observation since being taken to the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, Italy.
Officials revealed that tests over the past few days have indicated he is suffering from a “complex clinical picture”.
They added that the discovery of a “polymicrobial infection of the respiratory tract” changed his course of treatment.

LIMESCALE can be a stubborn stain but it doesn’t have to be difficult to remove.
One woman shared the every day step her mother-in-law taught her to prevent a build up in her shower.
In her viral video, TikTok user AJ (@a.j..mel) revealed the two ingredients that can make all the difference.
She shared that her mother-in-law is “full of hacks for every single thing.”
Rather than use a traditional cleaning product, she swears by two household items for tackling limescale.
According to AJ, the simple trick means you can “forget scrubbing” hard water stains.
Instead, she recommended using distilled white vinegar, available for 35p from Aldi.
The TikToker mixed this with washing up liquid, which you can pick up for just 69p from Aldi.
AJ advised her audience to spray their showers with the mixture after every use.
“Soap scum? Hard water stains? They never get the chance to build up,” she explained.
White vinegar is effective for removing hard water stains because it is acidic in nature.
This means it can dissolve mineral deposits left behind by hard water on various surfaces.
If you already have a build up of hard water in your shower, simply spray white vinegar directly on the stained area and allow it to sit for 30 minutes.
Using a sponge, you can simply lift the limescale, working the stain until it disappears.
Mixing in washing up liquid can help to break down the stain as it is designed to tackle grease.
Make sure you dilute the solution with water before spraying it in your shower.
TikTok users shared their thoughts on the advice in the comments section.
Keeping a bathroom clean and fresh can sometimes feel like a daunting task, but with a few practical tips and a regular cleaning schedule, it can be much more manageable.
1. Regular Maintenance
Daily Wipe-Down: A quick daily wipe-down of surfaces, such as the sink, countertops, and taps, can prevent the build-up of grime and soap scum. Keep a microfibre cloth handy for this purpose.
Ventilation: Ensure that your bathroom is well-ventilated to prevent mould and mildew. Open windows or use an extractor fan during and after showers.
2. Tackling Limescale and Hard Water Stains
Vinegar Solution: Hard water can cause limescale build-up on taps and showerheads. Soak a cloth in white vinegar and wrap it around the affected areas for a few hours, then scrub with a brush.
Lemon Juice: Lemon juice is another effective natural cleaner for limescale. Apply it directly to the affected areas, let it sit for a while, and then rinse off.
3. Cleaning the Toilet
Toilet Cleaner: Use a specialised toilet cleaner to scrub the bowl. Apply the cleaner under the rim and allow it to sit for a few minutes before scrubbing with a toilet brush.
Bicarbonate of Soda and Vinegar: For a natural alternative, sprinkle bicarbonate of soda into the bowl, then add vinegar. The fizzing action helps to lift stains and disinfect.
4. Shower and Bath
Showerhead: Remove mineral deposits by soaking the showerhead in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. You can do this by filling a plastic bag with the solution and securing it around the showerhead with a rubber band.
Bathtub: Use a non-abrasive cleaner to scrub the bathtub. For stubborn stains, make a paste with bicarbonate of soda and water, apply it to the stains, and let it sit before scrubbing.
5. Tiles and Grout
Grout Cleaner: Grout can harbour mould and mildew. Use a grout cleaner or a mixture of bicarbonate of soda and water to scrub the grout lines. An old toothbrush can be particularly effective for this task.
Tile Cleaner: Regularly clean tiles with a mild detergent or a vinegar solution to keep them shiny and free of soap scum.
6. Mirrors and Glass
Glass Cleaner: Use a glass cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water to clean mirrors and glass surfaces. Wipe with a microfibre cloth to avoid streaks.
Shower Doors: Prevent soap scum build-up on glass shower doors by using a squeegee to remove water after each use.
7. Floors
Sweep and Mop: Sweep the bathroom floor regularly to remove hair and dust. Mop with a mild detergent or a suitable floor cleaner to maintain cleanliness.
8. Trash and Laundry
Empty Bins: Empty bathroom bins regularly to prevent nasty smelling odours.
Laundry: Keep a small laundry basket in the bathroom for used towels and bathmats, and wash them regularly.
9. Finishing Touches
Air Fresheners: Utilise air fresheners or essential oil diffusers to maintain a pleasant fragrance in the bathroom.
Organisation: Ensure toiletries and cleaning supplies are neatly organised and stored to minimise clutter and facilitate easier cleaning.
“The ONLY cleaner I use for everything is washing up liquid, white distilled vinegar, and water. It’s the best cleaner hands down,” wrote one viewer.
“The vinegar tip is so real, it’s also a great way to get rid of mould too,” said another follower.
“The washing up liquid and vinegar in the shower!!! I hate the smell of vinegar but nothing works as good,” commented a third person.
“Ayyee girly, thanks for the shower hack!!!! Have a great day today, girl!!!” wrote another TikTok user.
“The vinegar and washing up liquid spray is about to be my next experiment,” said one follower.
