The entire contents of a former Debenhams store in Glasgow have been put up for auction.
The Argyle Street store was one of 15 Debenhams stores in Scotland that closed for good in February 2021 after the retailer's position became untenable during the Covid pandemic as non-essential retailers were forced to close for prolonged periods.
The auction comes 18 months after planners at Glasgow City Council granted permission for the former store to be transformed into offices with a rooftop restaurant.

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.

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.
