Ikea Glasgow announces reopening plan as retailers given green light

Glasgow's Ikea store will reopen on April 5 as a host of retailers are given the green light to welcome customers again.

The outlet at Braehead will be among the first batch allowed to open as part of the gradual exit from lockdown which begins next month.

The 'stay at home' message will be lifted on April 2, and then three days later homeware retailers, garden centres, hairdressers and non-essential click and collect services will resume.

Ikea was forced to close its shops in Scotland on Boxing Day but bosses are now planning for the reopening, which is less than three weeks away.

An Ikea spokesperson said: "Life at home continues to be more important than ever and now that we have a clear date for homeware stores to reopen, we are working towards ensuring our stores and ready to safety welcome back customers.

“We look forward to reopening our stores in Edinburgh and Glasgow and our Aberdeen Order and Collection Point on April 5.

"In the meantime, customers can continue to shop with us online for home delivery or Click and Collect.”

While the essential list of retailers will be expanded on April 5, the whole of Scotland is expected to move to level three on April 26 with the rest of retail given the go-ahead to open up."

Reminder: It is illegal to travel outwith your council area until the ban is lifted on April 26.
