Next

This Next is a lot bigger than it first looked. I only came in here because I saw the sign for Costa Coffee at the entrance. I walked through the store to get to the café and I could see that it was a lot more modern than my local Next. It is so big too, that there is a Costa upstairs on a sort of mezzanine balcony level. The only other Next stores I know of that have a Costa inside is the one under construction at Straiton in Edinburgh and the one at the Trafford Centre.
The clothing seems a bit nicer than what I’m used to. In Edinburgh, everything is too samey but in Glasgow, all the clothes in each shop will be different. Anyway, back to this store.
It opened a little while ago to replace the old BHS (I think. I’m don’t know much about the history of Braehead) and I just cannot imagine frumpy old BHS having a store in this swish location. I know I said that Braehead wasn’t my favourite shopping environment (it’s either the small shops, the neds or the signage above the upper mall shops) but with this fab store, they could turn their reputation around in my books.
