Shop Aberdeen is back from April 24-27, offering exclusive deals and events to support local businesses and attract shoppers to the city centre.
The event will run from April 24 to April 27. Shoppers can expect exclusive offers, discounts, and special events at participating stores.
Last October, Shop Aberdeen debuted successfully, with over 50 businesses joining in. The event significantly increased foot traffic in the city centre.
Local businesses and shoppers responded positively, prompting organizers to bring it back. Adrian Watson, Chief Executive of Aberdeen Inspired, noted the overwhelming support for the event.
Watson mentioned that shops reported a boost in foot traffic and sales during the last event. The initiative is open to all retailers in the Aberdeen Inspired Business Improvement District.

She expressed excitement about showcasing the variety of retailers in the city. Michie believes initiatives like this benefit both local businesses and customers.
Jenni Halminen from Decathlon in Union Square also highlighted the event’s benefits. She noted that last year’s event helped raise awareness of their store.
Halminen expects to attract new customers and encourage them to explore new sports. She believes the event will help drive foot traffic from online shopping to physical stores.
Kate Timperley, Project Manager with Aberdeen Inspired, encouraged more retailers to join. She highlighted the potential for increased sales and a lively shopping atmosphere.
The more enticing the offers, the more customers will be drawn to the city centre. Shop Aberdeen welcomes businesses from all retail sectors, including fashion, beauty, and leisure. Interested traders can find more information and sign up online.
