The street food kiosk, located at the Barras Market, was only open on weekends between 12pm and 4pm.

And the much-loved venue was popular for its Taiwanese burger buns, loaded salt and chilli fries and Monster munchie boxes, which all have a Scottish twist.

Many flocked to the food spot for its famous Irn Bru chilli chicken for a special promise to cure any hangover.

But on Saturday, boss Colin Jenkinson revealed that he was shutting up the kiosk and had pulled the shutters down for good.

At the time, loyal customers were gutted by the news, with many flocking to social media to share their disappointment.

But today the team have revealed that the reason for their closure is that they are set to open a new location.

Workers revealed that they are moving into a bigger unit that will let some customers sit inside and eat.

Monster Munchies will still be located at Barras Market, but it will now be found on Kent Street.

While no official opening date has been revealed yet, the team said that it will be coming “soon”.

Posting on Instagram, staff wrote: “So… I’m not technically leaving the Barras!!!

“We are opening a new place on Kent Street! Bigger unit and a few seats also!!!

“Stay ‘tuned’ for an update on the opening day”.

The news of the bigger unit delighted customers who were worried that the venue had closed for good.

One person said: “Amazing news!!! Congratulations”.

Another added: “See you! Literally buzzing for you. Deserve bigger and better things”.

Someone else wrote: “Yassssss, well done!”
