A major sports and fashion retailer is to open a new store on Glasgow's Buchanan Street.

JD Sports is expected to open the new store, located close to Buchanan Street Subway Station, in May.

Signage appeared outside the store this week.

There are already several JD stores dotted across the city, including on Argyle Street, at the Glasgow Fort and Silverburn Shopping Centre.

JD Sports first lodged plans to take over the former homes of Gap and Paperchase on Buchanan Street back in 2022.

That year Glasgow City Council approved plans to amalgamate the two units and create a two-floor store, which will feature DJ booth.

Established in 1981, JD Sports stocks men's, women's & kids' sports apparel, athletic accessories, branded trainers and other footwear from leading labels.
