A US-based fashion brand has lodged an application to revamp a store on George Street in the boutique quarter of Edinburgh.
It is expected Abercrombie & Fitch will take over the property, according to the planning documents.
The listed building in the historic street was previously occupied by Jack Wills.
The application states: "This statement has been prepared in support of applications for Listed Building Consent and Advertising Consent, in respect of the refurbishment of the existing 2 storey unit at 65 George Street.
"The site was formerly occupied by Jack Wills and it is intended to be taken in possession by Abercrombie & Fitch.
"The existing unit comprises a ground floor entrance & sales areas with a substantially larger basement floor below."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
