Paul Tanner, CUPP head of franchise, said: "We just opened 20 minutes ago and we already have a really good turnout. But this turnout is particularly brilliant.

"It took me about a minute to walk down the queue. It's absolutely amazing, we are so happy.

"The first 100 people were given a straw to hold and they will all get a free drink."

Maria from Bishopbriggs, who was at the back of the queue, said: "I've come because my son saw an article online and told me this was opening. I've come to try it out. I go to the Byres Road store often." 

Meanwhile, Amirah and Hani from the city centre were also queuing up.

They said: "We've tried the bubble tea before at the Byres Road shop and other branches in the UK. We love it." 

Olivia, also from the city centre, was one of the lucky people who was handed a straw.

She said: "I stay five minutes away and had noticed the sign saying it was opening today. It's a nice day so I thought I'd come down and try it. I've never tried bubble tea before. I've only been queuing for 10 minutes so far so it's not been that long."
