“The Patisserie will be a new experience for Glaswegians, and our team is looking forward to showcasing our sumptuous products.”

Sixco Group, the owners of VALARIA, commissioned Glasgow-based contractors One Call to re-imagine the new space, which is currently under construction at the former Vodafone store at 333 Byres Road in Glasgow’s West End.

The patisserie will be open 7 days per week from 8am until 8pm. One Call CEO, Mario Formasano said: “We have been working with Sixco since the beginning back in 2017.

“This project has been exciting to work on as it’s very different from what we normally do. More intricate detailing was required with a feminine touch to really bring the feeling of french patisserie to life. Working alongside Burns Design, we have been able to turn around the project in a short space of time while nailing the brief.

“The space is open, welcoming and brightens up Byres Road perfectly.”
