The team behind Sprigg salad bars have today revealed the location of their third Glasgow outlet.
The windows of a new site on Waterloo Street have confirmed the highly anticipated addition to the city’s food scene which is due to open in early 2025.
An eye-catching sign at the new shopfront pays tribute to the definition of a ‘Glasgow salad’, a slang term for a portion of chips, now referring to Sprigg’s fresh bowls.
Sprigg founder Tom McDermott said: “Lunch in the city centre is busy again, and there’s demand for our version of the ‘Glasgow salad’ - it’s a great term to hijack because our salad bowls were conceived in Glasgow, for Glasgow.
“Our new Waterloo Street store provides another spot in the heart of the city to keep doing what we love – offer an easy lunch option of fresh, delicious, made-from-scratch meals using whole, single-ingredient foods."

Launched on Ingram Street in 2018, Sprigg has since become known for its vibrant, single-ingredient whole food menu.
The success of its second shop on Sauchiehall Street, opened during the challenging post-pandemic period in 2021, is said to have fuelled confidence that Waterloo Street will be another milestone in the brand’s evolution.
"It’s important not only to be a great place to eat, but a great place to work," McDermott continued.
"We’ll be adding to our team, continuing to be accredited with Real Living Wage Scotland, pension contributions, guaranteed paid breaks, and rejection of zero-hour contracts.
"We work hard at Sprigg but I believe being part of a well-supported and hard-working team is the best environment to work in.”
As reported by The Herald last month, the Sprigg brand is on track for its first-ever seven-figure turnover, fuelled in part by a growing catering business.
Once open, Waterloo Street location will offer the same array of made-to-order salads, soups, and drinks from local suppliers like You + I and the Good Coffee Cartel.
