A fast food giant has announced it is returning to the St. Enoch Centre in Glasgow.
A brand-new KFC restaurant is set to open its doors to customers at the city centre shopping mall on Tuesday.
The opening will create 30 new jobs in the local community, with KFC saying that new team members will be provided with training and development opportunities to support their career progression.
The restaurant marks KFC’s 55th restaurant in Scotland and follows KFC’s expansion across the UK and Ireland.
