A Glasgow cafe is closing down this weekend and will be transformed into a well-known restaurant.

Good Times Roll has been providing the community of Ibrox with delicious rolls and sandwiches for six and a half years.

Now the business is shutting up shop, with Sunday, September 29 being the final day of trading.

Good Times Roll owner Steven thanked everyone who has supported him over the years in a heartfelt statement. 

He also hinted that this is not the end and he may pop up again soon. 

He wrote: "So after six and a half years it’s finally time to hang up my apron and move on to a new challenge as I can confirm that Good Times Roll will only be open Saturday and Sunday this week, serving you beautiful people of Glasgow for the very last time on Sunday.

"It’s been one hell of a journey and I’d like to thank every single person who’s made this little pipe dream become a reality, from those involved in starting the company from day one, those who helped build the shop, every hardworking member of staff, all of our suppliers and contributors and every single one of our incredible customers, as without you lot we wouldn’t have been able to keep going for this length of time.

"I’ll miss all of our regulars, especially my four-legged friends, (some of which have literally been coming in for their regular treats since since we opened our doors).

"Good Times Roll will return at some point in some capacity, maybe even a festival or two in the near future so watch this space."

The unit will be taken over by Robert ‘Big Smokey’ Lorimer who is the mastermind of Smokey Trotters.

The eatery, based on London Road, is renowned for its enormous burgers, loaded fries, chicken tenders, wings, and grilled cheese sandwiches.

The same staff at Good Times Roll will continue to work at the Copland Road unit when it becomes Smokey Trotters. 

Steven continued: "As one door closes, another chapter begins and boy do we have quite the fairytale ending to this era. We're proud to say we’re leaving you in the very safe hands of Robert aka Big Smokey, as he transforms the unit into the newest edition to the Smokey Trotters empire.

"If you haven’t had the pleasure of tasting one of their burgers yet then you’re in for an absolute treat.

"For all you breakfast lovers out there don’t panic! Robert and Smokey Trotters Kitchen will be serving up their amazing brekkie gear and range of bodega buns to satisfy all of your breakfast needs, wants and desires.

"What’s more is that you’ll still be taken care of by the same amazing and hardworking team from Good Times Roll just minus myself, so make sure you show the latest addition to Ibrox as much love as you’ve shown us over the years."
