Intersport Shetland is a sports shop in Lerwick, located at 167 Commercial Street.
It is currently (March 2007) for sale.

Previously, from about 1895 until about 1932 this was the drapers shop of Laurenson and Co and was later occupied for about 15 years by J Stevenson, also a draper. Through the late 1940's and through the early 1950's it was owned by Harry Adams, who traded in wool and knitwear. After two fires, it was rebuilt and occupied by Tullochs of Shetland selling knitwear, until the early 1980's when it became again, a drapers shop. In 1985, it became Sportswise, selling sports equipment and clothing and later, under the same ownership, part of the Intersport group.
