Mike Ashley has been ordered to reinstate the letters of the Jenners sign after they were removed from the Edinburgh landmark.

City of Edinburgh Council has issued a formal notice to Sports Direct International, now Frasers Group PLC, over work “executed to the listed building… having regard to the effect of the works on the character of the building as one of special architectural or historic interest”.
