A VACANT Glasgow pub will be turned into a convenience store after plans were approved.
A planning application to transform and partially demolish The White Elephant on Merrylee Road was given the green light.
The building will be developed into a store with 15 to 20 parking spaces "helping to meet the day-to-day needs of local residents".

Applicant White Elephant Property Limited said: "The store is expected to carry a basic range of groceries, ready meals, sandwiches and snacks, beers, wines and spirits and a range of fresh fruit and vegetables.
"Some 15 plus staff are expected to be employed, and there will be job opportunities for experienced retail employees as well as part-time and shift work for young adults and retirees."
Previously, the same company bid twice to tear down the site and build 20 flats in its place.
