A Glasgow food outlet has revealed the location of its third venue in six years.

Sprigg had previously teased plans for a new restaurant in the city after achieving resounding success with its Ingram Street and Sauchiehall Street spots.

Now a cryptic message on the windows of a new site on Waterloo Street has confirmed that Sprigg will launch there soon.

A sign at the new shopfront pays tribute to the definition of a ‘Glasgow salad’ – an age-old slang term for a portion of chips – now referring to Sprigg’s fresh bowls.

Tom McDermott, who launched Sprigg six years ago, said: “Our new Waterloo Street store provides another spot in the heart of the city to keep doing what we love – offer an easy lunch option of fresh, delicious, made-from-scratch meals using whole, single-ingredient foods. 

“Lunch in the city centre is busy again, and there’s demand for our version of the ‘Glasgow salad’ - it’s a great term to hijack because our salad bowls were conceived in Glasgow, for Glasgow."

Tom's aim is not only to provide Glaswegians with a fresh and healthy lunch but to ensure he will continue with Sprigg’s mission of being an ethical place to work. 

He said: “We’ll be adding to our team, continuing to be accredited with Real Living Wage Scotland, pension contributions, guaranteed paid breaks, and rejection of zero-hour contracts.

"We work hard at Sprigg but I believe being part of a well-supported and hard-working team is the best environment to work in.”

As Sprigg continues to grow, the brand is on track for its first-ever seven-figure turnover, fuelled in part by a growing catering business.

The Waterloo Street location is set to open early 2025 and will offer the same array of made-to-order salads, soups, and drinks from local suppliers like You + I and the Good Coffee Cartel.
