Glasgow-based Six by Nico currently runs 13 venues across the UK and Ireland and is looking to open a further four across the UK along with new bar and bakery ventures.
Boasting £30.8 million turnover for the year to June 2022, the group is also drawing up plans for international expansion, with hopes to open a new site in Dubai towards the end of 2023.
The patisserie will be open seven days per week from 8am until 8pm. The general manager of Valaria, Ronan Mallon, said: "We are excited to bring some of the most innovative and luxurious cakes Scotland has ever seen to Glasgow.
"We are launching Valaria with a brand new concept store for the first time, debuting our signature bakes and goods that will be freshly prepared on site. The Patisserie will be a new experience for Glaswegians, and our team is looking forward to showcasing our sumptuous products."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
