UPDATE: Ted Baker has teased future plans after the closure.

Bosses at a Glasgow shopping centre have confirmed a major retailer has closed after 36 years.

We previously reported that fashion brand Ted Baker had closed its shop in Princes Square.

Pictures revealed the unit to be empty and a sign was posted informing shoppers that the store was closed.

Glasgow Times:

Princes Square has since confirmed the move, which comes after almost four decades of Ted Baker trading at the city centre shopping mall.

Bosses hope to secure a replacement brand to occupy the unit soon. 

Katie Moody, centre director of Princes Square, said:  "We can confirm that after 36 years of trading in Princes Square, Ted Baker closed their store on Friday, January 12, 2024. 

"We are sad to see them go. We wish the staff well and look forward to confirming a new occupier for the unit very soon."

A Ted Baker UK and Europe Retail spokesperson said, “We can confirm the planned closure of our Glasgow Princes Square store, in line with our 2024 business strategy and ongoing optimisation of our retail estate.

"All team members from Princes Square wanting to stay with Ted remain in the business. We have ambitious plans to grow our bricks and mortar portfolio across the UK and Europe over the next 3 years.

"We’re excited to continue to serve our valued Ted customers, in our birthplace of Glasgow, at our nearby Buchanan Street store, less than 100 metres from Princes Square.”
