Glasgow-born healthy food takeaway business Sprigg is the first retailer to lease space at the redeveloped and renamed McLellan Works building on Sauchiehall Street.
The letting was announced yesterday by Bywater Properties, which has transformed the building at 274 Sauchiehall Street into a mixed-use development. A range of new office lettings have been secured for the building this summer.

Bywater said Sprigg had signed up to a long-term lease with street-level frontage, beside the main lobby. It added: “A Glasgow-born takeaway retailer with a focus on health and sustainability, Sprigg has developed a cult following after the opening of [its] original site on the city’s Ingram Street. Sprigg offers fresh ingredients in the form of salads, snacks and...drinks and this will be their second site in the city. With fit-out works expected to start in late August, opening is scheduled for late September/early October.”

Sprigg owner Tom McDermott said: “We are really excited about being able to expand our business at McLellan Works and were attracted by both the proximity to office customers...and the surrounding Sauchiehall Street regeneration area.”
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
