In a major investment into the retail park, shoppers will be able to enjoy new retail space and increased leisure experiences, such as tenpin bowling, karaoke, laser quest and escape rooms, complementing the existing blend of operators already on site.

To ensure that the works are aligned with the needs of the local community, a consultation period will open on Monday 9th December. Stakeholders will be able to find out more via the online hub, or can speak to one of the Glasgow Fort team on-site at Tinderbox cafe at one of two drop-in events:

• Wednesday 11th December 2024 – 2pm – 7pm
• Thursday 16th January 2025 – 4pm – 6pm

The proposals form part of Glasgow Fort’s ongoing investment into creating the best experiences for its customers, having also welcomed a number of high-profile brands over the last year, including Rituals and Primark, as well as Zara which opened its largest store in Scotland.

Phil Goodman, centre director at Glasgow Fort, said: “At Glasgow Fort, we’re always striving to create the best possible experience for our customers by providing new and improved retail and leisure offerings.

“We hope that our visitors are excited by the prospect of an even bigger and better shopping and leisure experience. We believe these new additions will help us truly provide something for everyone.

“We’re looking forward to hearing the views of the local community to ensure that Glasgow Fort remains a place that is providing exceptional experiences for all our visitors.”
