Glasgow dessert shop Big Licks opening soon in former Denny's near Braehead

A popular Glasgow ice cream shop famed for its instagrammable eats and huge social media following has a new store, opening soon.

Big Licks has been a huge hit with locals, serving colourful ice creams, shakes and desserts from its cafe on Finnieston Street.

Earlier this year it emerged Big Licks were opening up at another location on the outskirts of Glasgow, near Braehead.

And in recent days, social media footage shared shows the new Big Licks looks almost ready to go at the home of the former Denny's restaurant on Renfrew's Braille Crescent.

In 2020, we reported Denny's owners had refused to comment on rumours the site had shut down permanently. The iconic American diner opened in December 2018 to much fanfare, the second Denny's venue in the UK alongside another restaurant in Swansea.

However, it was hampered by a series of scathing reviews, with scores of diners left disappointed.

Now, Big Licks will take its place, with Renfrewshire Council having given the move the go ahead at the end of March - you can see the planning application in full here.

An opening date is yet to be confirmed the eagerly-anticipated new dessert store, but we'll bring you news as soon as we have it.

In the meantime, for all updates you can visit Big Licks on Instagram here.
