The Glasgow store is one of five due for upgrades this year under a £50m branch-refresh programme, alongside Reading, Cambridge, Leicester and Liverpool. The 28,000 sq metre Buchanan Galleries unit will gain an expanded beauty hall with fragrance hall and gift emporium, a new cafe-restaurant, more fashion labels, and a technology and sports floor by late September; the refurbishment will complete early next year. The investment forms part of an £800m programme to overhaul the chain’s 36 branches by 2029.
