AllSaints opening date for Glasgow Princes Square store
AllSaints will officially open its new Princes Square store on Thursday, June 5.
The new location comes after the brand's successful pop-up store, which opened in April 2024 and quickly attracted strong footfall and impressive sales.
(Image: Supplied) Renowned for its distinctive, "vintage-inspired style with a modern rock 'n' roll edge", AllSaints caters to both men and women and continues to expand its presence across the UK.
Located in Units 22 and 23 on Buchanan Street, the 1,828-square-foot store held a soft opening on Monday, June 2, in partnership with Launch, a charity committed to tackling child food poverty.
Guests at the preview were welcomed with coffee, cookies, and exclusive goodie bags for the first ten visitors.
To celebrate the grand opening, a late-night shopping event will take place on Thursday from 5pm to 8pm, featuring live DJs, complimentary drinks, and prize giveaways.
(Image: Supplied) Frankie Mallinson, AllSaints' Global Retail Director, commented: 'The response to our recent pop-up in Princes Square has been fantastic, and we're excited to be opening a new permanent space in the same location.
"It's a brilliant setting that allows us to deliver the full AllSaints experience, right in the heart of Glasgow.
"The new store has a more boutique feel, defined by curated collections, standout service and a personalised, clienteling-led approach.
"We're hugely looking forward to welcoming both new and returning customers through the doors.'

That store opened in April 2024, and at the time, Frankie Mallinson told the Glasgow Times: 'We are very excited to open our new store in Silverburn.
"The team is ready to showcase our new summer collection 2024, Access All Areas, which is a celebration of festivals and music—but don't worry, we still have our core collection with our signature leathers and bold dresses.
"We hope customers come along today as we're hosting a launch party and giving away some amazing goodies.'
The new store fills the gap left by AllSaints' original Buchanan Street location.
The Glasgow Times reported that the store announced it would be permanently closing last April.
With stores now in Princes Square, Silverburn, and Edinburgh's George Street, AllSaints continues to strengthen its footprint in Scotland as part of its wider UK expansion strategy.

Glasgow mum tells why she home schools kids as numbers rise
She says she didn't initially set out to home educate but found it to be the best option for her eldest and youngest children. Angela explained: 'I had hoped my kids would be in school because for a lot of parents its normality but my eldest was at a small independent primary school and that was a really beneficial thing for her but with the autistic traits she's got, particularly anxiety and struggling with transitional changes, I thought I don't know how she'll cope in secondary school.' READ NEXT: Warning after 'animal heads' found dumped in Southside pond (Image: Gordon Terris, Newsquest) Angela says she was concerned her eldest daughter, 14, would struggle changing class to class and having multiple teachers so decided to home educate her once she finished primary school. Her youngest son, 9, was also diagnosed with autism type one and was previously at a small independent school but had his place withdrawn. Angela, 44, said: 'He went back to nursery but struggled in that setting as he's very hyper-sensitive to noise and business and it was just too much for him and he had major meltdowns. 'It got to the point when my son was at a mainstream nursery, I couldn't really have a life because I always had to be on the end of a phone call when he wasn't coping because it always falls to the parent.' (Image: Newsquest/ Angela, who grew up in Milngavie and attended primary and secondary school, then made the decision to also home educate him a few years ago. She continued: 'It's been a journey. 'Home education isn't a one size fits all approach which essentially tends to be what school is. 'I think in comparison as well, 10/ 20/ 30 years ago there was a lot more support in terms of in the classroom one-to-one support, but over the years there's been cutbacks and that has affected a lot of children who need more support.' READ NEXT: Customers left 'raging' after city centre spa suddenly closes doors *Glasgow City Council was not able to provide a full breakdown for 2020-21 but advised the overall total of children in home education was 212 (Image: Newsquest/ According to figures obtained by the Glasgow Times through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request, the number of children in home education in the Glasgow City Council area has risen in the last 10 years. In the 2014-15 school year, the total number of children registered as being in home education in Glasgow was 54. In the 2024-25 school year, there are 260 children in home education to date. The biggest rise has been in the number of primary school age children, rising from 33 in 2014-15 to 182 in 2024-25. The number of secondary school age children in home education has also risen, though not as much. The number has risen from 21 in 2014-15 to 78 in 2024-25. The number peaked at 129 in the 2021-22 school year, before dropping again though not to pre-Covid levels. The number of primary school aged children saw its biggest jump after the pandemic, rising from 134 in 2021-22 to 166 in 2022-23, and has continued to ride steadily since then. Any parent or guardian can choose to home educate their child as long as they "provide an efficient education". The parents of a children who has been attending a public school must seek the local authority's consent before withdrawing their child from that school. Consent is not needed if the child has never attended a public school. Angela, who lives in the East End, says she believes there are a 'number of factors' which have led to the rise in home education in recent years. She says she believes for some parents, having to home educate during the Covid-19 pandemic made them realise their children were 'much happier' being taught at home. She said: 'A lot of parents I think saw their children were thriving in a different setting. 'I think a lot of people discovered during lockdown that school just didn't fit their kids or their kids didn't fit school. 'So, I think that's why there's been quite a rise.' One of the concerns that is often raised about home education is whether children will be socialised, Angela says, but she is part of groups such as the Glasgow Christian Primary and Secondary Home Education Co-op which often have meet ups.

Family-run chippy 'over the moon' to be in running for best takeaway
Steven Simpson, who owns the chips alongside his wife Victoria, says they were 'honoured' to be nominated and would be 'over the moon' to win. He told the Glasgow Times 'It's a credit to the staff who do a lot of hard work behind the scenes. 'It's not just a case of turning up, there's a lot of preparation, getting the best fish, best potatoes, and so it's good the hard works paid off. 'I think now a lot of people expect restaurant standard from takeaways and I think we're almost there and offering that.' Owners Steven Simpson (2nd from right) and wife Victoria pictured with colleagues, from left- Alex Day and Philip Raeside (Image: Colin Mearns, Newsquest) The 37-year-old continued: 'We offer a good product, and we do special offers as well so there's a lot of value there too. 'We have fresh haddock, and we offer different types of fish as well like coley or monkfish which are more sustainable. 'We can trace potatoes and fish all the way back to the farmer, the lorry, the boat... you name it, and we share that with our customers as well. 'Some think it's pointless but some love it.' The Kraken Chippy opened in 2017 and is the first business owned by Steven and Victoria, 36, who both have more than two decades of experience in fish and chips. Steven says the Covid-19 pandemic was a particularly scary time for the business, but they got through it with the support of the local community. They handed out hundreds of free meals to say thank you. (Image: Colin Mearns, Newsquest) Steven said: 'We pushed through and we had the support of the community, they rallied together so we wanted to give something back. 'We gave the elderly free meals and delivered to anyone that was stuck indoors. 'Folk turned up top help deliver the meals and just from then on, it's been a great community, and we're privileged to be a part of it. 'During Covid everyone had to keep their distance but that brought the community together and showed a spirit to get through it.' A menu favourite at the Kraken Chippy is the jumbo fish supper which has two six-ounce fresh haddock fillets with chips. Steven added: 'I think if you buy a good product and you do it well and you give back to the community then that's the best way forward.'
