Licensing chiefs handed a late hours catering licence to the franchisee, AG Restaurants, this week. It will allow the drive-through restaurant, in the car park of the Toryglen Asda, to open 24 hours a day. Lindsay Robinson, the solicitor representing AG Restaurants, said the opening hours would allow McDonald’s to “support the workers of the night-time economy in the local area”. This will include taxi drivers, emergency services workers and hospital shift workers, she said. Ms Robinson revealed the Prospecthill Road restaurant will open on July 7, but an environmental health inspection is required beforehand. An environmental health spokeswoman told the licensing committee they had been unable to visit as the premises was under construction. They are arranging an inspection with the restaurant.
