Scotland’s largest Asian supermarket has reopened following its acquisition by SeeWoo.
Based on Saracen Street in the North of Glasgow, the store offers a wide range of East and Southeast Asian products.
Initially opened in 2006, the site was re-acquired in December, following a short period (2017-2021) under separate ownership.
The investment secured the future of the supermarket, as well as continued employment for the 28 members of staff who currently work there.
Four additional members of staff have already been recruited since the acquisition, with SeeWoo planning on recruiting even more.
In the weeks following the acquisition, the SeeWoo Group has been focussed on restocking the store with new produce and has extended the fresh meat and seafood counters.
The company has also progressed restaurant partnership discussions for the large space adjacent to the supermarket, as well as negotiations with a bubble tea partner.
Lucy Tse-Mitchell, managing director at the SeeWoo Group, said: “SeeWoo has a proud history in Glasgow, and we’re really excited to be returning to our home in the north of the city.
“We have already secured a lot of new product partners that have boosted our store offering, with more to be announced in the next few months.
“Glasgow is an important strategic location for our group as we sell into many multi-site restaurant chains in the surrounding area - not only is the city a crucial part of our retail and wholesale operations, it’s also a central point of importation.
“We can now use our Glasgow site as a base to service our retail, restaurant and hospitality customers in Scotland as well as the North of England.”
