ISG has secured a £5 million contract with Sports Direct to deliver its first new build outlet in Scotland.Designed specifically to house the company’s leading retail fascias under one roof, including Sports Direct, Flannels, USC and an Everlast Fitness Club, the new development is located close to the popular Glasgow Fort shopping destination.The scheme comprises the refurbishment and reconfiguration of a former retail unit adjacent to an existing Morrisons store on Auchinlea Way, along with the construction of a three-storey steel frame extension, totalling over 180,000 sq ft of retail space. The project is aligned with a new direction for Sports Direct in how it manages its current portfolio of stores, which includes a focus on securing freehold assets, where its portfolio of fascias can potentially be brought together in a single location.
