More than just a gym— we're a community of local climbers connected by the belief that climbing is for everyone.
We opened up our first location in Midlothian in 1998, with our very own owners scooping out the foundation upon which countless climbers have now ascended thousands of routes. Over the years, and with the addition of our new Richmond location in 2018, we offer Yoga & Fitness classes, Instructional Climbing classes, Youth Teams & Programs, Club Climbing, Birthday Parties, and even built up a large Adaptive Climbing program. Our lifelong mission is to share our love of climbing, and cultivate a diverse, supportive climbing community.
We are a proudly independent, privately owned family business with a deep-rooted passion for retail. Since opening our first retail store in 1990 we’ve grown steadily and sustainably, now generating annual sales of over £4 million.
Today, we operate nine successful stores, including the first-ever Joe Browns franchise, a fantastic achievement that reflects our commitment to innovation and partnership in retail. We are also proud to operate stores for the Joules and Weird Fish brands. Alongside our franchise operations, we own and manage The British Emporium, our sister company dedicated to celebrating genuinely British made products.
Backed by an in-depth understanding of the retail landscape and a dedication to long-term relationships, we continue to evolve, bringing energy, expertise, and enthusiasm to every brand we work with.
Edge of the World has a long and successful track record creating fabulous franchise stores for major brands, including Karrimor, Trespass, Timberland and The North Face.
Edge of the World is a privately owned independent family business. The owners Adrian and Julie North have been retailing for over 35 years. Our employees are an integral part of our business. We believe it is important to enjoy being at work and provide a caring environment which treats people as valued individuals.
We believe that within the current challenging retail environment there are opportunities for businesses like ours, that can quickly adapt and take advantage of changing conditions. Our continued success will be down to the calibre of our staff and their ability to see solutions and opportunities, not problems.
