Glasgow shopping centre bosses have issued a first-look image of a brand new cinema set to open in the city centre in 2019.
It was reported earlier today how the nine-screen Vue Cinema is set to take the place of the former BHS store in the St. Enoch Centre.
As well as this, the shopping centre will also create an entertainment and dining destination, including eight new restaurants which will supporting Glasgow’s diverse food scene.
The new restaurants will complement the centre’s popular food court which includes DiMaggio’s, Pizza Hut, Nandos, Kimbles, Ddoce, and Ed’s Easy Diner.
The new cinema will be located on the upper level of the former BHS site at the east end of the shopping centre with additional new shop on the ground floor as the centre moves to reinforce its position as “a top shopping destination.”
How the new cinema complex will look upon completion
Anne Ledgerwood, general manager of the St. Enoch Centre, described how retail has “changed considerably” in recent years, adding: “People are increasingly seeking to incorporate eating and entertainment into their shopping experience.
“Glasgow is justifiably proud of its reputation as the leading shopping destination outside London, and the addition of a cinema will allow us to continue to develop St. Enoch Centre and offer a first class experience for shoppers and visitors to the city.
“The development will also help to create a more connected city centre by reclaiming outdoor space for pedestrians as well as strengthening the connection with Buchanan Street and improving links to the waterfront.”
The new leisure facilities will be accessible from enhanced entrances on Dunlop Street and Osborne Street which would strengthen the link into Argyle Street and improve the overall pedestrian experience in the area, further increasing activity while maintaining essential highways access.
The new development will open to the public in the summer of 2019.
