A bubble tea brand is set to open its third Glasgow store this weekend.

Bubble CiTea will officially welcome customers at its new location in Buchanan Galleries on Saturday, July 13.

The new store is located on the ground floor of the shopping mall beside NEXT.

Shoppers will be able to enjoy a range of fresh fruit and milk teas with tapioca balls, known as ‘boba’, ‘pearls’, or jelly chunks.

Suneet Sachdeva, CEO of Bubble CiTea, said: “We’re excited to launch our 53rd Bubble CiTea and the third location in Glasgow.

“Our bubble tea menu is very popular in Glasgow, and Buchanan Galleries located in the city centre is a prime location for shoppers and visitors looking for a refreshing and tasty drink.

“On behalf of the Bubble CiTea family, we are looking forward to bringing our renowned, delicious, and refreshing Bubble Teas to the heart of Glasgow.”

To celebrate the launch the brand is giving away five digital gift cards worth £20 via Buchanan Galleries’ Instagram page.

It is understood these can be redeemed at the new branch.

The opening of the new Bubble CiTea store follows the introduction of nine new suppliers at Foodies! – which is an extension of the Scottish Design Exchange in Buchanan Galleries.

Foodies! showcases a variety of Scottish independent and local food producers.

Kathy Murdoch, centre director at Buchanan Galleries, said: “The demand for new and interesting food and drink in Glasgow city centre is growing, with more people broadening their palettes with new and exciting offerings.

“We’re thrilled to introduce this refreshing new brand to our diverse range of offerings at Buchanan Galleries.

“Bubble tea is hugely popular already, and we’re confident it will be a go-to amongst our visitors.”
