ONE of Glasgow's shopping institutions Greaves Sports is to close one of its city centre stores, it has been announced.
The Sauchiehall Street branch of the Glasgow retailer will close imminently according to its managing director Sandy Greaves.
He, however, offered his assurances today that the Gordon Street branch will continue to trade.
He said: "The store sadly is going to have to close because of trading.
"Sauchiehall Street isn’t what it used to be. Gordon Street will still continue to trade.
"It’s been a sports shop since 1900s and its been part of our family business since 1960. It’s a bit of a sore one."
The company is working with staff to ensure minimal job losses.
The business now has a fifth generation of the Greaves family on the board and employs around 100 people across its stores.
