THE opening of Scotland’s first drive-through doughnut shop is scheduled for the new year, as developers put the finishing touches on a £4 million overhaul of Hermiston Gait retail rark.

Property consultancy Colliers International confirmed that US-based Krispy Kreme was on track to open its purpose-built premises alongside another new fast food restaurant for the KFC chain.

Other recent newcomers to the park include Poundworld.

The firm said footfall at the park had already enjoyed “significant growth” since it was acquired by Scottish Widows Investment Partnership Property Trust for £66m in 2009.
