KeepSakes Scotland Expands Gift Retail Portfolio

KeepSakes Scotland – which won a Greats award in 2021 as winner of the Best Newcomer Midlands, North & Scotland category, and was also shortlisted as a finalist in the Greats 2022 Best Specialist Multiple Retailer of Gifts category – has opened a fifth gift store in Ayr’s town centre.

“This is our biggest store to date and we are delighted with how it’s turned out,” co-owner Scott Nichol told GiftsandHome.net.  “We have expanded on product ranges, as well as bringing in some new additions that are exclusive to our Ayr store, and have received a great welcome from the town.”

Giftware includes home accessories, home fragrancing, jewellery, bags, soaps, mugs, cushions and beauty products and more besides, as well as kitchenware. Scott and his brother Stephen Nicol, who launched and co-own the business, also support independent artists and suppliers from Scotland and across the UK.

The first KeepSakes store opened in March 2020 in Pitlochry, with stores following in Loch Lomond, Inverness and Stirling. “The season so far has been really busy for us which is great, and we now have plans to open our sixth store in Dundeelater this year,” confirms Scott.
