Following the success of the Irn Bru ice lollies earlier in the year, Scotland's favourite ginger fizz has announced that a pop-up store selling merchandise has opened.
The pop-up store, which is made entirely out of Irn Bru orange shipping containers, will give the public the chance to buy limited edition merchandise for a four-week period.
Inr Bru celebrated the launch with actress and star of its recent IRN in Our Blood advert, Danna Sim.
The first of its kind in Scotland, the Irn Bru store is situated in Glasgow's Merchant City, bringing a unique retail experience to the city. The two-storey shop forms a 180 square metre retail space (equal to four badminton courts) transforming a previously unused building site. The IRN-BRU Store offers a wide range of limited edition merchandise; from key rings, hoodies and umbrellas to onesies, pyjamas and cufflinks ranging from £1 to £35. All post-operation profits will be donated to The Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice's Brick by Brick appeal.
Adrian Troy, Head of Marketing for A.G. Barr, said: "Opening our first Irn Bru Store today marks an iconic moment in our brand's history. It's an incredibly exciting occasion and we are proud to be able to support The Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice appeal."
The store is situated on the corner of Glasgow's Wilson Street and Candleriggs.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
