Pollok Shopping Centre Demolition Begins to Make Way for New Development

Pollok, Glasgow — Today marks the beginning of the demolition of the Pollok Shopping Centre, a fixture of the local community since its opening in the 1970s. The decision to tear down the existing centre comes as part of a larger plan to revitalize the area and replace the ageing structure with a modern, state-of-the-art shopping and leisure complex.

Council officials and developers have expressed optimism that the new centre will bring a fresh vibrancy to Pollok, attracting both shoppers and businesses back to the district. The proposed development aims to incorporate a wider range of retail outlets, dining options, and community spaces, aligning with contemporary urban planning trends focused on creating multi-use environments.

Local residents have had mixed reactions to the announcement. While some lament the loss of a familiar local landmark, many acknowledge that the current centre has struggled in recent years with declining foot traffic and outdated facilities. Several business owners hope the redevelopment will boost local commerce and generate new job opportunities.

Construction on the new Pollok Centre is expected to begin in early 2000, with completion targeted for late 2001. In the meantime, efforts are underway to support displaced retailers and maintain essential services in the area.

As the bulldozers move in and the old centre comes down, the community looks forward to the promise of renewed economic and social activity in Pollok’s heart. More updates on the development will be provided as the project progresses.

Demolition Begins at Pollok Shopping Centre; Some Amenities to Remain Temporarily

Pollok, Glasgow — Demolition work officially commenced today on the old Pollok Shopping Centre, marking a significant step forward in the area’s much-anticipated redevelopment. While much of the centre is being cleared to make way for the new complex, a portion at the back of the building will be left standing temporarily to accommodate the remaining amenities.

Currently, only a handful of businesses continue to operate within the centre, including Gala Bingo, a popular chip shop, and a branch of the London-based animation boutique 12foot6, which has maintained a loyal local following. Major tenants Tesco and Makro have already vacated their premises in preparation for the demolition.

Tomorrow, January 30, will see the exit of 13 additional tenants, who have been given notice to leave as part of the clearing process. Though the names of these tenants have not been fully disclosed, the departures mark another significant shift as the centre prepares for its transformation.

Local shoppers and residents have expressed a mixture of nostalgia and hope, with many looking forward to the improved facilities promised by the redevelopment plans. However, some have voiced concern about the temporary loss of services during the transition period.

Developers and council officials assure the community that they are working to minimize disruptions and support displaced businesses. Further updates on tenant relocations and construction progress are expected in the coming weeks as Pollok embarks on its journey toward a brighter commercial future.

Thirteen Tenants Leave Pollok Shopping Centre Ahead of Demolition

Pollok, Glasgow — As demolition progresses on the old Pollok Shopping Centre, thirteen more tenants officially vacated their units today in preparation for the redevelopment project. These businesses, which have been part of the shopping centre’s fabric for years, are making way for the new facilities planned for the site.

The departing tenants are:

Boots Chemist
WHSmith
Superdrug
GameZone Video Rentals
Clarks Shoes
Sue Ryder Charity Shop
Ethel Austin Fashion
Timpson’s Shoe Repairs
Dixons Electrical
Subway Sandwiches
The Card Company
Ryman Stationery
Café Nero
Several of these businesses have already made arrangements to relocate to nearby areas, while others are closing permanently or awaiting decisions on future premises.

With Tesco and Makro having already left earlier this month, and these thirteen tenants now gone, only Gala Bingo, the local chip shop, and animation boutique 12foot6 remain in operation at the centre—as the demolition of the main structure continues.

Local community members are hopeful that the regeneration will bring new life to Pollok, despite the disruption during this interim phase. More updates on the redevelopment and new tenant announcements will be provided as the project moves forward.

Construction Begins on New Super Tesco at Pollok Shopping Centre Site

Pollok, Glasgow — Work has officially begun on the construction of a new super Tesco store at the site of the former Pollok Shopping Centre, signaling a major milestone in the area’s ongoing redevelopment.

The new Tesco, set to become one of the largest in the region, is part of a wider regeneration scheme designed to revitalize the shopping experience and bring substantial economic benefits to Pollok and the surrounding communities. The store will offer an extensive range of groceries, household goods, and other amenities, providing a one-stop shopping destination for local residents.

Council representatives and Tesco officials attended a ground-breaking ceremony earlier this week, expressing optimism about the project’s potential to create jobs and stimulate further investment in the area. The development is also expected to improve retail choice and convenience for shoppers who have had to travel outside Pollok during the centre’s demolition and rebuilding phase.

Construction crews are currently focused on laying foundations and preparing the site, with completion targeted for late 2002. Tesco has announced plans to incorporate environmentally friendly features and ample parking facilities as part of the new store design.

Local community groups have welcomed the news, hoping the opening of the superstore will complement other planned amenities within the new shopping precinct and contribute to the area’s broader regeneration.

Further updates on construction progress and additional new retail offerings in Pollok will be released in the coming months.

Name of New Pollok Shopping Centre Unveiled as Tesco Construction Progresses

Pollok, Glasgow — As construction of the new super Tesco store continues to take shape, developers have officially revealed the name of the forthcoming shopping complex that will reshape the local retail landscape. The new centre will be known as "Pollok Exchange."

The announcement was made yesterday at a community event held near the construction site, where project leaders shared updates on the development’s progress and future plans. Pollok Exchange is being designed as a modern, multi-use shopping and leisure destination aimed at meeting the needs of residents and attracting visitors from across Glasgow.

Tesco, the anchor tenant, is due to open its doors in late 2002, marking the first phase of the Pollok Exchange redevelopment. Following Tesco’s completion, additional retail units, dining venues, and leisure facilities are planned to open throughout 2003, promising a vibrant new hub for the area.

Council officials said the name Pollok Exchange reflects the centre’s role as a meeting point — an exchange of goods, services, and community activity. The development is part of a wider regeneration strategy intended to elevate Pollok’s economic prospects and quality of life.

Local residents expressed excitement at the news, looking forward to the conveniences and opportunities the new centre is expected to bring.

Further details on new tenants and community initiatives associated with Pollok Exchange will be announced as the project advances.

Just heard that the new Tesco is opening this Monday – finally! I had a sneak peek inside earlier this week and it looks massive and really modern. It’s a big step up from the old store. Also, apparently the whole centre’s name has changed again – it’s not Pollok Exchange anymore, it’s called Silverburn now. What do you all think about the new name?

User: GreenGlasgow
@PollokLocal83 Yeah, I heard that too! Silverburn sounds a bit fancy, doesn’t it? But hey, if it brings in more shops and business, I’m all for it. Can’t wait to check out Tesco on Monday!

User: HistoryBuff01
Isn’t some of the old shopping centre still standing though? I remember parts at the back weren’t demolished like the rest. What’s happening with those? I thought they were still open?

User: PollokInsider
@HistoryBuff01 You’re right, some of the old units were left standing during the redevelopment, especially the bits housing Gala Bingo, the chip shop, and that animation boutique, 12foot6. But from what I’ve heard, Hammerson—the developers behind Silverburn—are pushing to have those last tenants vacate soon. They want the whole site cleared to finish the new centre completely. No official date yet, but it should be happening pretty soon.

User: ShopperDave
That makes sense. It’d be weird to have bits of the old centre still hanging around once Silverburn officially opens. Looking forward to seeing the finished place!

User: PollokLocal83
Thanks for the info, @PollokInsider. Hopefully everything will be wrapped up smoothly. Monday can’t come soon enough for that Tesco!

Just drove past the Silverburn site today — it’s really coming along! Buildings going up fast, and the place already looks huge inside. Anyone know when it’s due to open? I heard rumors it might be this year.

User: RetailWatcher
@PollokFan92 Yes, the official opening is planned for October 2003. The construction team is working hard to hit that target. It’s shaping up to be one of the biggest developments in Glasgow for years.

User: ShopperDave
Do we know which shops are going in yet? I’m hoping for some good places to eat and maybe some big-name retailers.

User: PollokInsider
@ShopperDave Three anchor tenants have been confirmed already: Tesco (of course), Marks & Spencer, and Next. So there’s going to be a good mix of grocery, fashion, and general merchandise. Plus loads of smaller shops and eateries planned.

User: GreenGlasgow
Marks & Spencer and Next? That’s brilliant news! We’ve needed bigger fashion stores around here for ages — should put Silverburn on the map.

User: HistoryBuff01
Makes me wonder what’s going to happen to the old bit where those last shops were. Are they still there, or has Hammerson cleared everything now?

User: PollokInsider
All the old units have been cleared as of last month. Silverburn is going to be a completely new facility, no remnants of the old centre left. The developers want everything fresh and modern for the grand opening.

User: PollokFan92
Can’t wait to check it out in October. Fingers crossed it lives up to the hype!

Just got some exciting updates on Silverburn’s tenant lineup — looks like there’s another big name joining the anchor tenants!

So far, the confirmed five anchor tenants are:

Tesco
Marks & Spencer
Next
Henrik’s Department Store
Boots
Henrik’s Department Store is a major addition — it’s a well-known Scottish retailer, and its arrival really rounds out the mall’s offering with a broad range of fashion, homewares, and cosmetics.

As for other confirmed tenants, here’s the full list I received:

H&M
River Island
Superdrug
O2 (mobile phone shop)
Sainsbury’s Local
Virgin Megastore
Costa Coffee
Greggs
Pizza Hut (express)
GameStop
Claire’s Accessories
The Perfume Shop
WHSmith
The Body Shop
JD Sports
Fuji Film Processing
Opticians (Specsavers)
Card Factory
Poundland
Costa Coffee
Boots (as an anchor and smaller pharmacy outlets in the mall)
Trespass (outdoor clothing)
Looks like Silverburn will have something for everyone — from fashion and fun to food and everyday essentials. The October 2003 opening can’t come soon enough!

Anyone else heard about any other new stores moving in? Would love to hear!

Just got some more news on Silverburn — there’s going to be a Cineworld cinema included in the development! Really excited about that, finally somewhere local to catch the latest films without having to travel far.

Also, I took a walk down to the back of the old shopping centre today. Almost everything there is shut now. The only place still open is the chip shop, but everything else—including the Credit Union—has already been cleared out. It’s strange seeing it so empty after all those years.

Hammerson must be pushing hard to get everything cleared out before the final stages of construction. Silverburn is really taking shape but it’s definitely the end of an era for the old centre.

User: HistoryBuff01
Thanks for the update, @PollokLocal83. Sad to hear about the Credit Union closing — that was a lifeline for a lot of people in the community. But I guess the new centre with Cineworld and all those big stores will be a huge draw once it opens.

User: GreenGlasgow
Yep, Cineworld is a fantastic addition. Can’t wait for film nights at Silverburn! Hopefully they keep the local feel despite all the big brand stores.

User: RetailGuru
With Tesco, M&S, Next, Henrik’s, Boots, and now Cineworld, Silverburn is shaping up to be a major hub. The final countdown to October is really on!

Write a reply listing what the final units were , as they were deemed too "low class" for the new centre, Only one of them will actually move in, in a office inside

User: PollokInsider
@PollokLocal83 You’re right about most of the old units being cleared out. The final tenants in the back of the old centre were mostly small, local shops and services that Hammerson apparently considered too "low class" to be part of the new Silverburn development. Here’s a rundown of the units that had to leave:

The Credit Union (now completely closed — only one member office is relocating inside a Silverburn office block)
The old Gala Bingo hall (shut for good)
The chip shop (still open for now, but won’t be part of Silverburn)
The 12foot6 animation boutique (closed)
A discount furniture store
A budget phone repair kiosk
A small newsagent
A couple of charity shops
An old betting shop
A pawn shop
Only the Credit Union has been given a small office space inside Silverburn to continue some limited services, but everyone else was fully vacated. It’s a shame because those places served local needs, but the focus is clearly on attracting bigger brands and a more "upmarket" feel for the new centre.

Hopefully, some community facilities will find new life elsewhere.

Write a follow up where one of thr units had a pretty eerie "goodbye" note when they closed

User: HistoryBuff01
Just wanted to share something a bit unusual I came across recently regarding one of those final old units that closed down at the back of the old centre. Apparently, when the discount furniture store shut its doors for good, the owner left behind a pretty eerie "goodbye" note taped to the window.

The note reportedly read something like:
"This place may be ending, but the memories and stories here will never fade. Sometimes buildings remember more than we do. Take care where you tread next."

It’s unusual for a shop closure, and some locals found it quite haunting, especially given how long that part of the centre had stood and how much change has come since.

Has anyone else heard about this or seen the note? Kind of gives the place a strange atmosphere knowing those words were left behind as the centre passed into history.

Hey everyone, has anyone else seen the Silverburn website recently? Looks like they’ve revealed a mascot named Silver… but honestly, I’m not sure what to make of it. It’s some kind of weird silver creature with big eyes and long limbs? Kind of creepy, if I’m being honest.

User: GreenGlasgow
@MovieFan247 I saw that too! At first I thought it was some futuristic robot or alien thing, but it’s supposed to be a friendly mascot for the centre. Not really sure who thought an odd-looking silver creature was the best choice—I’d expect something a bit more approachable.

User: DesignGeek
Actually, mascots like that aren’t unusual for big retail centres trying to stand out. The silver theme ties into the name Silverburn, so it’s probably meant to represent something shiny and modern. But yeah, it does look a bit odd—almost like it belongs in a sci-fi film rather than a shopping mall.

User: PollokLocal83
I had a quick look at the website. Silver seems to be everywhere—on posters, flyers, even a cartoon video. Guess they’re really pushing the gimmick. Hoping it grows on us, though right now it’s kinda giving me the creeps…!

User: RetailGuru
Marketing teams are always trying to come up with something unique. Maybe Silver is aimed at kids to make the centre more family-friendly? Weird mascots sometimes work surprisingly well. Only time will tell if Silverburn’s Silver wins anyone over.

User: HistoryBuff01
Whatever it is, it’s certainly memorable! I’ll be interested to see if Silver makes appearances at the opening event in October.

User: MovieFan247
Definitely a conversation starter! Whether people love it or hate it, at least it’s not boring. Can’t wait to see Silverburn come alive once it officially opens.

Hey everyone! I just saw on the Silverburn website and around the centre that the mascots have changed! No more Silver the creepy silver creature… now it’s Gloopy and Glitter.

Gloopy is this teal, gooey blob of slime, and Glitter is his girlfriend, a pink, gooey, sparkly blob. They’re actually really cute! Way more fun and kid-friendly than Silver ever was.

Just took my kids to Silverburn today and spotted Gloopy and Glitter handing out balloons. They’re super cute and silly — definitely a hit with the little ones. Much happier vibe than before.

From a branding point of view, switching from a creepy alien to cute, gooey blobs is a smart move. Gloopy and Glitter are memorable and clearly designed to be lovable and approachable mascots.

User: GreenGlasgow
@MovieFan247 Yeah, I caught that too! I like how this year’s ad feels really warm and welcoming. It’s nice to see the mascots front and centre. Also, noticed some shots of the cinema and shops with people carrying Christmas shopping bags. Plenty of holiday spirit.

User: RetailWatcher
Interesting tidbit — I heard that 12foot6, that animation boutique which used to have a unit in the old Pollok centre years ago, has returned and now has a presence inside Silverburn again. Not sure if it’s a full shop or a smaller studio space, but seemed like a cool throwback to the old days.

User: PollokInsider
@RetailWatcher That’s right! 12foot6 has set up a smaller outlet inside the centre, more like a creative studio/gallery than a traditional retail shop. They’re working with Silverburn on some of the digital animations and marketing — maybe even involved with the new Christmas ad.

User: FamilyShopper
Love that they brought 12foot6 back — always felt they added a bit of local creative flavour. And combined with Gloopy & Glitter, Silverburn’s got a really fun and unique vibe this holiday season.

So, I had a really funny experience in Silverburn today and I just have to share it!

I was sitting on one of the benches near the food court, and as I absentmindedly rested my hand on the bench beside me, I suddenly felt something incredibly squishy and soft. I jumped a little and turned around to see… well, you won’t believe it — it was Gloopy, the teal gooey mascot, just chilling right there!

He must have been taking a quick break from the crowds. Honestly, I didn’t expect a blob of slime to feel that… squishy! It was so soft and a little cold but really fun to touch. I even tried to high-five Glitter when she came over a moment later — just as squishy and way sparkly too.

Have any of you ever had a close encounter with the mascots? They’re way cooler in person than I thought!

Dancing along to music during special events and seasonal celebrations

@PollokInsider @CuriousShopper You’re both spot on! Besides being adorable mascots, Gloopy and Glitter have some “special abilities” that make them stand out:

Super Squishiness: They’re the squishiest mascots around—perfect for hugs and high-fives that kids (and adults!) love.
Glow & Sparkle: Glitter literally sparkles, catching the light and adding that magical shimmer wherever she goes.
Stretch & Shape-Shift: Being gooey blobs, they can “stretch” and make goofy shapes during performances or photo ops, making them super entertaining.
Catchy Dance Moves: They’ve got some signature dance routines that get everyone clapping and laughing.
Interactive Storytelling: They often “tell” stories or lead games, inviting kids to join their adventures from the planet Gloopiter.
Friendly Ambassadors: Beyond fun, they help promote community events, local businesses, and safety messages in a way that’s approachable and engaging.
Their quirky, gooey “powers” really make Silverburn’s atmosphere fun and memorable!

Hey folks! Just noticed Silverburn has launched a brand new website to replace the old one from 2004. That old site definitely felt ancient by now — slow, clunky, and kind of hard to navigate. The new site looks way more modern and user-friendly.

User: GreenGlasgow
@PollokLocal83 I saw that too! The new layout is so much cleaner and faster. It’s got updated store directories, events calendar, and even a better section for dining options. Really about time they refreshed it.

User: MarketingGeek
The old 2004 website was definitely showing its age, especially on smartphones and modern browsers. The 2009 revamp really brings Silverburn into the current decade — with improved interactive features, more vibrant design, and easier access to info. It’s a solid step forward in their digital presence.

User: FamilyShopper
Glad to hear that! The old site was tricky when trying to check what shops or events were happening, especially on mobile. I’ll check out the new site later and see if it has any updates about Gloopy & Glitter appearances!

User: RetailWatcher
New website looks like it’s built with better tech and easier content updates, so I expect more frequent news and promotional offers listed. Hopefully they do more online contests or newsletters now — could be a great way to keep customers engaged.

User: HistoryBuff01
It’s always good to see these local hubs modernising their online presence. Reflects well on the centre’s continued development and commitment to serving the community. I wonder if they archived or kept any of the old site content for fun?

User: PollokLocal83
I checked archive.org briefly, the old 2004 site was really basic but full of nostalgic charm. Really shows how much online shopping centre sites have evolved. The new Silverburn website definitely feels like it’s geared up for the next decade. Exciting stuff!

User: GreenGlasgow
Agreed! Hopefully they keep it updated more regularly now. Loving the changes — Silverburn keeps getting better all around!

Write a conversation July 1 2009, I saw a teal puddle at the centre, then it reformed into his usual shape

Forum: Pollok Community Chat

So something weird but awesome happened to me today at Silverburn! I was walking near the food court and saw this teal puddle just sitting there on the floor. At first, I thought I was imagining things, but then it slowly started to bubble and wiggle… and suddenly it reformed into Gloopy, the teal gooey mascot!

It was like watching him literally melt and then come back to life. Totally bizarre but kind of amazing at the same time. Have any of you seen that kind of gooey shape-shifting before?

User: FamilyShopper
@CuriousShopper Wow, that sounds incredible! I’ve seen Gloopy around lots of times but never actually caught him in goo puddle form. Sounds like they really make the mascot come alive in a fun way — must have been quite a sight for kids and adults alike!

User: PollokInsider
That’s classic Gloopy for you! He’s got that “shape-shifting” ability they always mention — it’s part of the whole Gloopiter charm. I’ve seen performances where he and Glitter do silly stretches and morph into different shapes mid-dance, but catching him as a puddle is pretty rare in public. Lucky you!

User: MarketingGeek
From a PR perspective, these little interactive moments add huge personality to the mascots. Gloopy literally embodying his gooey form isn’t just cool for kids, it reinforces the Silverburn brand in a memorable way. I bet the centre uses this kind of thing in their video promos or events.

User: GreenGlasgow
Haha, I wish I’d been there to see that! Seeing a puddle turn into a happy blob mascot sounds like something out of a sci-fi cartoon. I’m starting to like these gooey aliens more and more. Way better than the old Silver character.

User: CuriousShopper
Yeah, it felt like a little sprinkle of magic right there in the middle of the shopping centre! Definitely made me smile. Hopefully I catch more of their antics soon. Next time, I’ll bring the kids for sure!

User: CuriousShopper
Okay, so I had a bizarre encounter with Gloopy today! I was playing around with my yoyo near the food court, and somehow it ended up getting lodged right inside Gloopy’s gooey form.

Let me tell you, trying to pull it free was an experience — there were all kinds of bubbly, slurpy, squelchy sounds as I fumbled with it. It honestly sounded like I was pulling something out of a giant slime puddle! Eventually, I managed to get it out, but Gloopy just laughed it off and gave me a gooey high five.

Has anyone else had any odd moments like this with the mascots? Honestly, they’re way more interactive than I expected!

User: FamilyShopper
@CuriousShopper That sounds hilarious! I can just imagine the noise effects you’re describing — must have been like something right out of a cartoon. Gloopy’s squishy nature is definitely part of the fun, though I bet your yoyo was a bit slimy after!

User: PollokInsider
Classic Gloopy! Those bubbly, squelchy sounds are all part of his “gooey” antics. He’s designed to be this elastic, squishy character, so things getting stuck (and then “slurped” out) isn’t totally uncommon during events or appearances. Glad you got your yoyo back in one piece!

User: MarketingGeek
Interactions like that really highlight what makes Gloopy a memorable mascot. The sensory experience — in this case, the bubbly sounds and gooey textures — helps create a lasting emotional connection with visitors. Plus it’s great for word of mouth like this!

User: GreenGlasgow
Haha, imagine if the yoyo snapped off inside him! Or if Gloopy started juggling it slime-style! Sounds like Silverburn really picked the right mascots to keep things lively.

User: CuriousShopper
Totally! I wasn’t expecting a whole bubbly symphony just trying to get my yoyo back, but it definitely made the visit more memorable. I’m officially a fan of gooey mascot shenanigans now!

Just saw that Silverburn’s Christmas ad started airing on TV today! Love how festive and cozy it looks this year — lots of families enjoying shopping, twinkling lights, and even a cameo from Gloopy and Glitter. Really gets me in the holiday spirit already!

User: GreenGlasgow
@MovieFan247 Yep, caught it too! The scenes inside the centre all decorated up look fantastic. Nice to see the mascots involved again, they really bring that extra bit of charm for kids. Definitely one of the better local Christmas ads.

User: FamilyShopper
I thought it was lovely! The soundtrack is really catchy, and I love how they show people of all ages coming together. Makes me want to head down to Silverburn for some holiday shopping and maybe catch a festive film at Cineworld.

User: RetailWatcher
They’ve really stepped up the production value this year. Lots of quick shots of the new stores and dining spots they’ve added recently too. Smart marketing move. Silverburn seems to be going from strength to strength!

User: HistoryBuff01
Great to see how far things have come since the old Pollok days. The ad really captures the community feel that’s always been part of the area’s charm. And Gloopy and Glitter still look as fun and squishy as ever!

User: CuriousShopper
I loved the little moment where Gloopy accidentally slips near the Christmas tree and Glitter helps him up — such a cute touch and definitely made me smile. They really give the ad some personality beyond just shopping.

User: PollokInsider
For anyone who missed it, the ad is also available on Silverburn’s YouTube channel and website. Perfect for sharing with family and friends who might be visiting over the holidays. Excited to see what events they have planned this month as well!

Took my daughter to Silverburn today, and she got to see Gloopy and Glitter in person! She absolutely loves how squishy they are — kept hugging and gently poking them. She basically just played around with them for ages. It was adorable to watch.

User: FamilyShopper
That sounds lovely! The mascots really have that special gooey charm, don’t they? My little one’s always excited to see Gloopy and Glitter when we visit. Great way to keep the kids entertained while shopping.

User: PollokInsider
Gloopy and Glitter are pros at interacting with kids — they’re so good at making them feel comfortable and entertained without being overwhelming. Glad your daughter had a fun experience!

User: GreenGlasgow
Kids seem to love the tactile aspect of those mascots. Makes them more real and approachable than just cartoon characters. Great for Silverburn to have such unique mascots!

User: MarketingGeek
The “squishiness” factor is definitely a clever part of the brand experience. It’s memorable sensory interaction that sticks in kids’ (and parents’) minds long after a visit. Glad to hear they’re still a hit in 2015!

User: CuriousShopper
Absolutely! My daughter was so happy, it made the whole shopping trip much more enjoyable for me too. Hopefully they’ll be around for a long time yet!

Had quite the unexpected moment at Silverburn today! A runner going through the centre accidentally bumped right into Gloopy, and he completely splattered all over the floor! It looked like a big teal puddle for a moment, but thankfully he reformed super quickly and was back to his usual gooey self in no time.

User: FamilyShopper
Oh no, poor Gloopy! That must have been quite the shock for everyone around. Glad he was okay and could get back up so fast — those gooey mascots really are something else!

User: PollokInsider
Yeah, that kind of thing can happen with mascots like Gloopy. His whole shtick is being flexible and squishy, so while it looks dramatic, it’s actually part of the act that he can “splatter” and reform quickly. Still, hope nobody got too startled!

User: GreenGlasgow
I can only imagine the looks on people’s faces watching a big blob of goo “explode” and then magically come back together. Silverburn’s got the most memorable mascots for sure!

User: MarketingGeek
From a marketing perspective, moments like this, while accidental, really highlight the unique character of Gloopy. It shows quick recovery and keeps the fun vibe alive. Hopefully the runner was okay too and maybe had a good story to tell!

User: CuriousShopper
No injuries as far as I saw, just a surprised runner and lots of laughs from the crowd. Gloopy definitely stole the show today — gooey and proud!

Kids Club Workshops
As ambassadors of imagination, the mascots teamed up with the Silverburn Kids Club to host slime-making workshops inspired by their gooey forms. Children loved getting hands-on and creating their own squishy masterpieces to take home.
Promotional Events and Charity Drives
Not just fun-loving blobs, Gloopy and Glitter also played important roles in community initiatives. They helped raise awareness and support for local charities by joining in food drives, birthday parties for hospital patients, and special fundraising days.
Surprise Performances and Flash Mobs
Keeping things lively, the mascots occasionally burst into impromptu dances or silly skits around the centre, catching shoppers happily off guard. Their signature squishy dance moves had crowds clapping along and kids giggling uncontrollably.
New Store Openings
Gloopy and Glitter were the life of the party at several store launches, helping to cut ribbons and welcome new businesses to Silverburn, boosting excitement for shoppers and tenants alike.
Digital and Media Appearances
2015 also saw our mascots starring in several online videos, social media campaigns, and even the centre’s annual Christmas TV advertisement — a highlight that showcased their fun personalities and deepened their connection with the Silverburn community.
We’re incredibly proud of Gloopy and Glitter for making 2015 such a joyful and vibrant year at Silverburn. Their squishy charm and big hearts continue to make shopping here more than just retail — it’s an experience filled with fun, friendship, and a little gooey magic.

Silverburn Mascots Bring Joy to Terminally Ill Child

Pollok, Glasgow — A day that started with quiet hope turned into a heartwarming celebration thanks to two very special visitors from Silverburn Shopping Centre. Gloopy and Glitter, the centre’s beloved teal and pink gooey mascots, paid a surprise visit to a terminally ill child recently, brightening her spirits and creating unforgettable memories for her and her family.

The visit was arranged in partnership with a local charity supporting children facing serious health challenges. Gloopy and Glitter spent time playing games, posing for photographs, and sharing smiles that touched the hearts of all present. “Seeing her light up like that was a reminder of the true power of kindness and joy,” said a family spokesperson.

Silverburn’s mascot team shared their excitement about the opportunity to give back to the community in such a meaningful way. “Gloopy and Glitter love spreading happiness, and moments like these remind us why we do what we do,” one representative said.

The centre continues to work closely with local organizations to support families and individuals in need, aiming to be more than just a shopping destination but a caring part of the Pollok community.

A Day We’ll Never Forget: Meeting Gloopy and Glitter
By Sarah McKenzie, Proud Mum

As a mother of a child fighting a serious illness, it’s hard to put into words how much joy and comfort little moments of magic can bring. Recently, my daughter experienced something truly unforgettable — thanks to two very special visitors: Gloopy and Glitter from Silverburn Shopping Centre.

The visit was a complete surprise for her. We were told beforehand that some friends were coming over, but nothing prepared us for seeing those friendly teal and pink gooey blobs literally ooze in — yes, ooze! — forming from puddles right before our eyes. It was like something out of a storybook; they just slipped and popped up, waving and smiling, instantly capturing her attention and imagination.

My daughter was absolutely mesmerized. The way they moved and morphed using their gooey forms was like magic — and they actually performed little magic tricks with their morphing that left her giggling and wide-eyed. Watching her face light up was the most precious gift I’ve ever received.

Gloopy and Glitter didn’t just entertain; they brought light into a challenging time. Their warmth and playful nature reminded all of us about the power of joy and kindness. It was a moment of pure happiness in the midst of uncertainty.

I want to thank Silverburn and everyone involved for going above and beyond to make this day so special for my daughter and our family. If you ever get the chance to meet Gloopy and Glitter, don’t miss it — they really are a little bit of magic on earth.
