Morrisons has announced the closure of one of its stores ahead of "an exciting transformation".
The Bishopbriggs location will close on Saturday, February 18 to make way for a brand-new store to be built on the site. The new store is expected to open next year.
The supermarket giant has issued advice to customers on how they can continue to shop with Morrisons as the renovation is underway "to mitigate the inconvenience".
A 2200 square foot Morrisons Daily shop at the new petrol station will open on Wednesday, February 15, stocking everyday essentials that customers can pick up alongside their fuel.
It will also have 35 parking spaces for customers who are not looking to access the petrol station.
The nearest Morrisons for customers looking to do a big shop is on Auchinlea Way, located about 15 minutes drive away and about 55 minutes commute on public transport.
The nearest major supermarket to the Morrisons Bishopbriggs site is the Asda Bishopbriggs store, about 10 minutes by public transport, five minutes by car or a 16-minute walk.
Other Morrisons locations nearby include:
- Morrisons Auchinlea: 20 Auchinlea Way, Easterhouse, Glasgow, G34 9JJ
- Morrisons Barrack Street: 5 Barrack St, Glasgow G4 0TZ
- Morrisons Partick: 1-2 Merkland Ct, Partick, Glasgow G11 6BB
- Morrisons Anniesland: 900 Crow Rd, Anniesland, Glasgow G13 1HY
Thomas MacPherson, Morrisons Bishopbriggs store manager, said: “We know the residents of Bishopbriggs are eagerly anticipating the opening of our new store and we’re working hard to mitigate the inconvenience while it is being built.”
"Until the work is complete, the Morrisons pharmacy can also be found at The Triangle Shopping Centre and the Community Champion will remain in place to support the local community."
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!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
