The Blue Lagoon has offered to take on staff laid off due to the closure of Watt Brothers.
The popular chip shop is urging staff to get in touch for a number of roles across four branches in Scotland.
Glasgow shoppers were left devastated after Watt Brothers went into administration on Friday morning, leaving 229 staff across Scotland redundant with immediate effect.
