Anime Republic is also set to bring its unique range of Asian inspired animated products and comics to the city for the first time when it opens on the first floor of the mall in February.
St Enoch general manager Anne Ledgerwood added: “It’s been a busy start to 2019 and we’re looking forward to welcoming Gloria Jean’s and Anime Republic to the centre along with Wrapchic and Sushi Stop, all of which will be opening in the city for the first time.
