FG Burnett Tracks Down Underground Tenants

Commercial property consultants FG Burnett has been commissioned by SPT to secure new tenants for eight Glasgow subway station kiosks.

FG Burnett is seeking premium brand businesses for the high-visibility kiosks which range in size from 120-1,180 sq ft.

The Glasgow Subway is the third oldest underground metro system in the world and carries in excess of 14 million passengers a year.

The kiosks are located at Partick, Hillhead, Cowcaddens, Buchanan Street, St Enoch’s, Shields Road, Ibrox and Govan stations.

FG Burnett director, Gavin Smith, said all kiosks benefited from a prominent position at each station entrance and from significant passing trade.

He said: "This is a unique opportunity for a variety of retailers to secure a prime site and capture trade from some of the Subway’s 14 million annual passengers.

"The Subway is one of the most popular methods of transport in Glasgow, used by commuters, shoppers and students, and we expect a lot of interest from those with an entrepreneurial streak who will recognise a great retailing opportunity.

"With competitive rentals and low overheads, there will be few retail locations which offer such great potential in terms of passing trade."
