Stars like Nigella Lawson and Justin Bieber have visited Blue Lagoon over the years
WHEN the owners of Blue Lagoon opened the doors to their first fish and chip shop on Sauchiehall Street in 1975, their aim was to simply create a single successful chippy.
Gianluca Varese, a grandson of Ersilio and Edda, is now a director of the family business, working alongside his dad and two brothers, and puts their success down to their late opening hours which saw them become a key destination at the end of a night out."Back in the day I think we were one of the only places to open past midnight selling"We realised that Glasgow was a great location for us and then we opened other sites roundabout there, then down at Argyle Street.
He said:"We’ve gone from paying in a shop in Queen Street £500 a week to £1500 a week, so the profits in some of the branches have taken a massive hit but thankfully we’re still busy. "At nighttime, many of our customers, and people in general, are walking past taking videos of the shop, they’re coming in because of the boat feature I designed for the centre that customers can sit inside.
