Helzibob Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 The Gyle is a crap shopping centre, however I met Gary Locke there aged 16 so it holds a special place in my heart........oh and I’m getting close to 40 so I love a M&S sale as much as the next girl.

Captain America Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 We only go to the Gyle for the Disney shop. But now they have one in Livingston our trips are less frequent. Parking was decent for getting tram to Murrayfield games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zico Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Whoever owns the Gyle would be better running a corner shop. Thousands of people working nearby every day, great transport links and they have a range of shops and restaurants that would embarrass the smallest shopping centre in Auchterinverheidtheba.

Is that the galleria? Few minutes away from the rynek sq? If so yes and it’s fantastic, that’s what I hope they do with the st James Centre. No doubt they won’t and they will make it rubbish. 8 hours ago, Chaps said: Cameron Toll could do with a bit of tlc the place is horrific now. But they just opened an Aldi and “the works” as well as a vapour shop and a new Greggs! It’s .... still rubbish, not to mention ‘the gym’ which has been under construction for what feels like years. the folk that run the stalls must have 0 home life as they seem to be there every day morning until night. Crazy. used to work in the Gyle and always thought it was crap, food options shop selection and that was 6 years ago when I stopped working there! N The Hearts shop was good for the short term it was there (due to the stupidly high rental costs, it costs NEXT a 7 figure sum to rent the space they are on and that doesn’t include their offsite storage) as was the zumo juice stand the boots is the only decent thing there due to the size of it and selection.
