Plans have been approved for a new store from jewellery retailer Pandora in Glasgow city centre.

The retailer will open a new store at 78 Buchanan Street after plans were approved by Glasgow City Council on Monday (25 August).

The jewellery brand will open in what once was Lush on the city centre street, which closed to accomodate the nearby Lush Spa concept. There is currently a Pandora outlet nearby in Buchanan Galleries - it is unclear what the future will be for this location.

The unit will be transformed, with new signage and a pink render installed on the unit.

The planning statement read: “The proposed shopfront will see pink render applied to the existing stone with finishes in stainless steel and metal cladding. A new glazing system will replace the existing glazing.

“The internal alterations will see the existing modern shop fit-out replaced with a fit-out appropriate for the Pandora brand. A full schedule of works is included with this planning application. The proposals include the removal and relocation of stairs at basement to ground and ground to first floor levels.

Pandora was founded in 1982 in Copenhagen, Denmark and now operates in more than 70 countries around the world. They are best known for their collectible charm bracelets.
