Asian-inspired eatery Wagamama is set to open a new restaurant at Glasgow Fort this spring.

As part of major development work at the park, Wagamama will be sited alongside a new flagship Marks & Spencer store.

The restaurant will bring 40 jobs to the area.

Paul Wilson, Area Manager for Wagamama, said: "We are very excited about bringing the Wagamama experience to Glasgow Fort. This brand new unit will incorporate our latest designs and styles, bringing our delicious much-loved Asian-style menu to the park's customers. This will be a brilliant addition to our two existing restaurants in Glasgow city centre and Silverburn."

The restaurant, which is due to be completed around May, will sit 179 people.

Phil Goodman, Centre Manager at Glasgow Fort, said: "Wagamama is a very popular brand and we are confident it will be a welcome addition to our already strong food offering at Glasgow Fort.

"This much-anticipated development will make 2015 a really exciting year at Glasgow Fort."

Other leading names for the four units joining Marks & Spencer at the new development are yet to be announced.

The development is expected to deliver up to 500 jobs in total and Glasgow Fort is working with Jobs & Business Glasgow and the local JobCentre Plus to fill these positions locally.
