Future Plans
The building that sits adjacent to the GoMA went under development and refurbishment to accommodate a new retail unit following Borders Group closure. Rumours insinuated that AllSaints and Abercrombie & Fitch both looked into a lease for the building - dividing it into two retail units to accommodate both stores. The window covers were unveiled to reveal suspended rows of vintage sewing machines, white painted exposed brickwork and reclaimed furniture. These interior details have been found in previous AllSaints branches, and are very fitting with the brand. AllSaints' Ingram Street and Mitchell Lane branches both closed and moved into the Buchanan Street building in May 2010, leaving the upper floors vacant.
The rear of the building is currently being fitted out as a new Zizzi Restaurant with the entrance opening onto Royal Exchange Square opening February 11th as the flagship Scottish Zizzi branch.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or plans:
“The ellipse is as aimless as that,
Stretching invisibly into the future so as to reappear
In our present. Its flexing is its account,
Return to the point of no return.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“When I heard at the close of the day how my name had been receiv’d
with plaudits in the capitol, still it was not a happy night for me
that follow’d,
And else when I carous’d, or when my plans were accomplish’d,
still I was not happy,
But the day when I rose at dawn from the bed of perfect health,
refresh’d, singing, inhaling the ripe breath of autumn,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
