Leon arrives in Glasgow

The healthy fast food chain will open its first store in Scotland for the first time. The new Glasgow store in Buchanan Galleries will open its doors in July 2016.

John Vincent, co Founder and LEON CEO said: ‘I have happy memories of Glasgow. It is a city with style, spirit and energy. Now I have an excuse to come more often’.

'We have received a lot of requests from people in Glasgow asking for us to open in their home town – we hope we can do them proud and create a place they love.’

‘There is nothing in the word ‘fast’ or ‘food’ that means it has to be bad food. We want to create dishes, burgers and wraps that people dream about – and still feel good after they have eaten them’, said John Vincent.

Guest will be able to order LEON offerings such as the Moroccan Meatball hotbox (served with brown rice and crispy slaw), the signature fish finger wrap, the char-frilled chicken burger with tarragon olive oil mayo, baked fries and the original super food salad.

Announcing the move at the Entrepreneurs Exchange event in Glasgow on 18 May, LEON co-founder John Vincent said: “Glasgow will become the most northerly point on the LEON map, and our first high street store outside of London so I’m looking forward to introducing a whole new audience to our fun and fresh fast food.”
