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:
“Perhaps if the future existed, concretely and individually, as something that could be discerned by a better brain, the past would not be so seductive: its demands would be balanced by those of the future. Persons might then straddle the middle stretch of the seesaw when considering this or that object. It might be fun.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“A father ... knows exactly what those boys at the mall have in their depraved little minds because he once owned such a depraved little mind himself. In fact, if he thinks enough about the plans that he used to have for young girls, the father not only will support his wife in keeping their daughter home but he might even run over to the mall and have a few of those boys arrested.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
