WATERSTONES at The Avenue Shopping Centre in Newton Mearns has won the top slot for Lego sales in Scotland – for the second year running.
And the small Waterstones store is said to be the fifth-biggest seller of Lego across all Waterstones outlets in the UK.
Michelle McCabe, Centre Manager at The Avenue, said: “Given that there are 300 Waterstones throughout the UK, for Waterstones at The Avenue to be number one in Scotland and five in the UK for Lego sales is certainly an impressive feat!
“Much of that achievement can be attributed to Lego-fanatic store manager Craig Birrell – so congratulations to Craig and his number one team!”
The win follows significant investment by Waterstones in its children’s range, which comprises everything from minifigures retailing at £1.99 up to £25 sets, and the introduction of a dedicated Lego Bay.
The Avenue Shopping Centre, managed by commercial property consultancy BTWShiells, offers shoppers an alternative to sprawling trolley-dash shopping culture with a comprehensive range of outlets offering a warm and welcoming shopping experience conveniently located on the outskirts of Glasgow city centre.
