Major cinema chain Vue remains commited to opening a new multiplex in Glasgow city centre at the start of 2021, opening in a former BHS unit.
The nine-screen facility will be part of a new £40 million leisure development at the St Enoch Centre mall, which opened in 1989 and has a footfall count of 20m a year.
Dave Windross, head of property at Vue Entertainment, said: “We strongly believe in the long term future of cinema, and are looking forward to a year of amazing films in 2021 and therefore we are committed to delivering this fantastic new cinema for film fans in Glasgow.
“We believe that the big screen experience provides the perfect opportunity to switch off from the outside world with a great story, and our new all-recliner site will give even more people the chance to escape to luxury for a few hours.
“We’re also delighted to create 40 new jobs, which we’ll be recruiting for in due course.
“The St Enoch Centre redevelopment is creating a superb retail and leisure hub for Glasgow and we’re pleased to be part of it. We look forward to revealing more details as the project develops.”
