Laings has announced that it is set to open its new flagship store on Glasgow’s Buchanan Street.
Following a £5m investment, the B-listed building Rowan House, has been transformed into a fully furnished showroom, covering 7,113sq ft across two floors of retail space.
The building will include the recently opened, state of the art Rolex Authorised Service Centre, with the ground floor dedicated to luxury watch brands including Rolex, Patek Philippe, TAG Heuer and Laings Pre-owned.
A second floor is devoted to Laings’ extensive jewellery offering, with an area showcasing the bespoke Laings Family Collection.
In addition, a dining space has been created for exclusive events and private client meetings, whilst the three top floors will be home to Laings HQ.
All staff currently located at the existing Laings store in the iconic Argyll Arcade, will transition to the new Glasgow showroom.
The refurbishment has also created four additional sales positions, bringing the total showroom staff count to 30.
Stuart McDowell, managing director of Laings, said: “We’re eagerly anticipating our Glasgow flagship opening and excited to be finalising this next significant step in our journey. Our team has worked meticulously to create a retail space that not only showcases our extensive collection of fine jewellery and watches, but also reflects our commitment to craftsmanship and customer service.
“This move demonstrates our determination to revitalise the high street whilst continuing to deliver an elevated and truly immersive retail experience for our clients in our very own home city.”
