An East Dunbartonshire store has been granted permission to change its operations by the local licensing board.
Bearsden Convenience Store, located on Roman Road, has been given the go-ahead to introduce off-sales until 8pm.
The proprietors say this will be in the form of products not sold by other vendors in the area, such as Islay gins and specialist whiskies, in order to attract additional customers.
The shop will introduce these lines next year after carrying out a refit expected to cost in the region of £30,000.
Sales will be conducted on a strict Challenge 25 basis. Staff will receive additional training before the off-sales commence and security at the premises is also good as it already operates as a sub post office.
