A national restaurant chain has been given the green light to open its first Scottish restaurant in Glasgow.
Turtle Bay submitted plans to open a restaurant in the former Barrhead Travel unit at 130 St Vincent Street.
The Caribbean food chain is based in Bristol and has over 50 locations in England and Wales but they are yet to make their mark on Scotland.
Plans include internally fitting out the ground floor space of the category B-listed building and transforming it from a retail unit into a restaurant.
Work will include new internal finishes and signage.
The application reads: "The proposals are modest in scale and will enhance the provision of restaurants within the city centre, providing welcome investment and employment."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
