Outdoor enthusiasts, get ready—Mountain Warehouse has officially arrived back in Oban.
The leading UK outdoor retailer has launched its brand-new store on George Street, bringing a wide range of high-quality and often great-value outdoor gear to the heart of the town.
The shop has moved from a unit a few doors along the street, and is now based at 42 George Street.

Spanning an impressive 3,962 square feet on a single floor, the new store is stocked with everything adventurers need.
The company has even employed four more members of staff to work in the popular store.

“This incredible location is the perfect place to share our passion for adventure and offer great-value outdoor kit for everyone.
