GLASGOW shopping centre Buchanan Galleries has welcomed three new additions.

Gift shop Born in Scotland and food outlets Kim’s Korean Street Food and Koumi Sushi & Bento are now open for business in the city centre mall. 

The new units come after the news that Buchanan Galleries is planned to be demolished and replaced with a multi-purpose shopping, residential and office quarter.

It is hoped that the new stores will offer shoppers a greater choice of shopping and eating.
