We want to buy everything🥐
The Scottish Design Exchange , a community interest company which already provides space for artists and designers to sell their work on the high street, is expanding its retail footprint with the launch of a dedicated premium food business called Foodies. SDX is the brainchild of chief executive Lynzi Leroy, a former project manager for Shell.
Ms Leroy said: “We are a non-profit social enterprise and, for nearly a decade, we have been supporting Scottish artists and designers to grow and develop their businesses, as well as making their passion their livelihood. Now we are looking to do the same for those who make amazing food. Foodies will be located one unit away from the SDX Glasgow store which has been trading in Buchanan Galleries for the past five years. SDX noted that its existing Buchanan Galleries outlet had generated more than 32,000 transactions, worth a total of £832,000 in sales, in the past year alone.
She added: “The fixed-fee model we run at...SDX – and will now introduce into Foodies – will ensure that producers get to keep 100% of all sales made. Ms Leroy said she had been thinking about launching a dedicated food store for several years, but that conditions were never quite right, until now.
