A POPULAR dessert and slushie shop is opening a new store in Glasgow city centre.

Tubbees Slushee announced earlier this month that the new location is just five minutes away from Strathclyde University.

Bosses have now revealed the exact location as 436 Sauchiehall Street - a former Pizza Express restaurant.

They wrote on their Facebook page: "SURPRISE!! The good news gets even better, we've got ANOTHER store coming soon to Glasgow City Centre - ​436 Sauchiehall Street. Watch this spaaaace. Stay tuned for updates." 

It is not yet known when the store will open, but the news proved popular with customers, with more than 270 people commenting on the firm's post.

​Tubbees currently operates out of a petrol station in Ibrox's Paisley Road West.

The dessert parlour is known for having several slush machines offering a wide range of flavours.

It has become a viral hit on Tik Tok with thousands of videos filmed there.

In August last year, we reported that a teenager had gone viral for travelling to Glasgow from England to get her hands on a Tubbees slush drink. 

The Tik Tok user Issy shared a clip on the social media platform of her journey to the dessert bar. The sixteen-hour round trip took in at least 334 miles.

She said: "So I decided I wanted this slushy from this super cool looking place. The only issue it was an eight-hour drive. I jokingly told my dad about it and he said 'Ok let's go'."

She later said: "Now we just drove eight hours back home".

Baffled locals could not believe the determined youngster's trip with hundreds commenting and liking the post.

One said: "This person drove eight hours to go to a petrol station in Govan. GOVAN."

Another said: "Could of went to Edinburgh castle or something but no ye went to a petrol station in Govan."
