A retailer has teased future plans after the closure of a Glasgow store.

We previously reported that Ted Baker has closed its shop in the city's Princes Square shopping centre after 36 years of trading.

Signs appeared at the empty unit revealing that the store had closed.

Bosses at the fashion brand have since since confirmed the closure, which was planned as part of their 'ambitious' plans for Ted Baker.

They added that they were looking forward to continuing to serve customers at the nearby Buchanan Street store which remains open. 

A Ted Baker UK and Europe retail spokesperson said, “We can confirm the planned closure of our Glasgow Princes Square store, in line with our 2024 business strategy and ongoing optimisation of our retail estate.

"All team members from Princes Square wanting to stay with Ted remain in the business. We have ambitious plans to grow our bricks and mortar portfolio across the UK and Europe over the next 3 years.

"We’re excited to continue to serve our valued Ted customers, in our birthplace of Glasgow, at our nearby Buchanan Street store, less than 100 metres from Princes Square.”

Katie Moody, centre director of Princes Square, said:  "We can confirm that after 36 years of trading in Princes Square, Ted Baker closed their store on Friday, January 12, 2024. 

"We are sad to see them go. We wish the staff well and look forward to confirming a new occupier for the unit very soon."
