Scottish expansion is on the cards

RETAIL chain Card Factory will open two more shops in Scotland after securing premises.

The retailer will open its third outlet in Glasgow city centre in September, and has also signed a lease for a property in Peterhead.

Andrew Mearns, retail surveyor at Jones Lang LaSalle who acted for Card Factory, said the outlets were part of a "continued expansion programme" to open stores across Scotland in locations where the firm could secure suitable premises on appropriate terms.
