A MAJOR café chain has been given the go-ahead to open its first store in Glasgow.

We previously reported that Bob & Berts asked Glasgow City Council for permission to use a vacant unit at 154 Sauchiehall Street as a restaurant and takeaway. 

Planning bosses have since approved the proposals, with conditions.

The use of the premises will be restricted from 8am to 12am, seven days a week.

Founded in Portstewart, Northern Ireland, in 2013, the company expanded into Scotland in 2018 and now has five venues in the country, including in Falkirk and Stirling.

Bob & Berts promises “proper coffee” and “great grub”, offering all-day breakfasts, lunches, light bites, sweet treats, shakes and smoothies.
