Jenners
United Kingdom"Scotland's Oldest Independent Department Store"
About
For over a century, the name Jenners was synonymous with Princes Street in Edinburgh. Founded in 1839 by the Jenners family, this department store became a cornerstone of Scottish retail culture. It offered everything from high-street fashion to premium homeware, maintaining a reputation for quality that attracted both locals and tourists.
The store operated as an independent business until 2005 when it was acquired by the House of Fraser group. This acquisition ended its status as Scotland's oldest independent retailer, though the brand continued to function under its historic banner for another fifteen years before eventually ceasing operations as a distinct entity.
