House of Fraser may acquire Jenners

House of Fraser is in talks to acquire the venerable Scottish department store business Jenners.

HoF said it is in "advanced negotiations" over adding Jenners to its existing chain of department stores, but plans to retain the Jenners brand identity. Along with the flagship Jenners store on Princes Street in Edinburgh, the business includes outlets at Glasgow and Edinburgh airports, and at Loch Lomond Shores.

HoF said all the stores would continue to operate under the Jenners name, and if the deal goes ahead, it plans to operate the Princes Street store alongside the existing House of Fraser store in Edinburgh.
