Article Abstract:
A Harvey Nichols store is being set up in Edinburgh, Scotland, and is likely to offer valet parking to customers. Local government has been told that the store will be located in Glasgow, Scotland, if parking is not permitted. Competing store, Jenners, opposes privileges being granted to Harvey Nichols. Glasgow has a number of fashionable stores, but they are less evident in Edinburgh, which is seen as a poor location for clothes shopping. Edinburgh shoppers are seen as conservative, so Jenners is still likely to play an important role in the city's shopping habits.

However, financial advisers warn that new businesses funded with redundancy payments are often unsuccessful.
