About
If you're driving down the Hermiston Gait retail park and spot the giant Decathlon sign, you've found Edinburgh's one-stop shop for all things sporty. Step inside and you'll be greeted by a well-organised mega-store packed with gear for every sport imaginable – from football boots to camping tents. The real magic, though, is the in-store services: get your skis serviced, your tennis racket restrung, or even design a custom t-shirt for your five-a-side team. The team, including fan favourites like Kirsty and Felipe, are genuinely enthusiastic and love helping you find exactly what you need. With free parking and EV charging points, it's easy to pop in after a weekend adventure. Pro tip: book your ski servicing online in advance – it gets busy in winter!
