What happened
Edinburgh Bicycle Co-operative was sold to a private company, securing the future of the brand across four stores. However, the Aberdeen store and the distribution centre in Newbridge are not part of the transaction and will close. The retailer, which had been facing financial pressure due to declining sales and inflation, made 25 staff redundant.

Why it matters
The closure reflects significant financial pressure on the retailer, which was struggling with sustained trading losses and cash flow difficulties. The sale and subsequent closures affect the retail footprint of the brand and local employment in the region.
