Castore, the Rangers kit supplier, is to open a new store in Glasgow city centre.
The 2,000 sq ft site at 133 Buchanan Street sees Castore set up its first own brand store in the city. This is in addition to Castore’s partnership store at Rangers FC.
The British brand is set to open in Glasgow in early September and will see the creation of 20 new jobs.
The premium retail location was selected "to align with Castore’s high quality products", with neighbours including leading brands such as Nike and House of Fraser.
It will feature a tailored in store design and fit out, to reflect the "Better Never Stops" ethos of the brand.
The fast-growing sportswear retailer will offer a range of new and exclusive Castore products at the site including the Technical Lifestyle Collection and Garcia Capsule Collection, as well as a range of exclusive Rangers FC product launches.

Castore was founded in 2015 by brothers Tom and Phil Beahon and challenges the likes of Nike and Adidas through its performance wear fabrics, which are guided by science and engineering expertise.
Castore currently has partnerships with world leading sporting legends and teams including Sir Andy Murray, England Rugby Union Captain Owen Farrell, Masters winning golfer Patrick Reed, Wolverhampton Wanderers FC and Glasgow Rangers FC.
Tom Beahon, co-founder at Castore, said: “It’s fantastic to be launching our first own brand store in Glasgow. We already feel at home at the city thanks to the brilliant Rangers FC fans and it’s great to be able to offer our full range to meet both sporting and lifestyle needs. With the store due to open in early September, we’re looking forward to onboarding our new colleagues and bringing our mission of ‘Better Never Stops’ to the city.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
