Nice to see queue again
Friends Danielle Sartrain and Sarah Douglas were up at the crack of dawn to be at the head of the queue at Braehead Shopping Centre when it re-opened yesterday.
The girls were waiting more than an hour for the centre’s Primark store to open its doors at 7am.
Danielle, 31, said:“This is really quite exciting and the feeling is like being a child at Christmas.”
Both Danielle and Sarah work at Glasgow Airport and haven’t seen as much of each other during lockdown as they usually do.
“As well as coming to Braehead for shopping it’s also a bit of a social catch-up for us,’said 25-year-old Sarah.“We haven’t been at work together for a while, so we thought we’d meet up outside Braehead.”
The girls also wanted to make sure they were first in the queue at Primark, as hundreds of customers queued outside the store before opening.
Sarah said:“We’re going to take our time and walk around the store and fill our baskets with anything that takes our fancy.”
Normally, Braehead would open at 10am, however along with the centre’s Primark store opening at 7am, several other stores began trading at 8am, as they welcomed shoppers back for the first time since Boxing Day, last year.
