To accommodate demand, owner and chef Chris Mears new remises will be much bigger and will seat three times the number of people.
Scran and Roadie will feature a New York-style pizza and slice offering in addition to its signature brunch food and drinks, as well shawarma and barbecued pork shoulder and drinks such as Vietnamese coffee and salt and pepper caramel latte.
The Roadie part of the name comes from the New York City nickname for a takeaway slice of pizza.

Chris said: "This is a new chapter for Scran which started originally on Alexandra Parade in Dennistoun in 2018, moving to London Road in 2022.
"We have had an unbelievable reception in the Barras and we want to bring what we do to even more people. The building will triple our capacity.
"The Roadie part of the new name is a tribute to New York culture, and the city's slang term for a slice of pizza to take away.
"We are increasing the team from six to 15 and have been able to attract some of the best pizza talent in the business.
"Regulars will still be able to enjoy our speciality coffee by the Roasting Project, Stornoway black pudding, fantastic Corrie Mains eggs and bespoke artisan bread from the Bavarian Bakehouse, and from midday, we will also be serving slices of thin and crisp 20-inch pizzas – that's bigger than a dartboard."
Scran and Roadie is backed by the Worq Group which specialises in building and managing luxury hotels and restaurants as well as residential complexes.
Its portfolio includes Boutique 50, an award-winning boutique hotel in Finnieston, El Santo restaurant and Revolver hotel in Glasgow.
Jonathan Doherty, founder and director of the Worq Group, continued: "Our interest is in identifying new opportunities and responding to emerging market trends and we are pleased to be partnering with Chris Mears and his team in their new venture in a really exciting part of Glasgow.
"Scran has already proved how popular its offering can be, with a dedicated following built up in a very short space of time, and we are confident that the new Scran + Roadie will build on and energise that success."

Report: Trump demands more money in Paramount lawsuit
The parent company of CBS News has balked at settling a lawsuit with Donald Trump for $35 million, leading the president to demand even more money, a bombshell report claims. CBS News parent Paramount was hesitant to settle the $20 billion suit - which claimed that a 2024 interview with Kamala Harris on 60 Minutes was deceptively edited - over fears of facing legal backlash for bowing to the president , the New York Post reported . Trump's legal team reportedly rejected a $15 million offer to settle the suit in May. The holdup threatens to upend Paramount heiress Shari Redstone's plans to sell the company. The deal could be voided come October if still not inked by that point. Trump's team 'appeared to be willing to settle for less, but even that amount worries the Paramount people,' one source told the Post. Trump's team continues to deny that his administration's approval of the Skydance deal is not contingent on settling the suit, while Paramount staffers say the deal has yet to be closed because of the ongoing litigation. An insider close to Trump's team told the Post the two sides were not close on a settlement. 'We have a strong case,' the source said. Redstone, 71, has recused herself from the talks, since she could personally benefit. If the deal goes through, she stands to make more than $1 billion as Paramount's primary shareholder, after reportedly offering to pay as much as $50 million to make the suit go away. Paramount - once a preeminent presence in Hollywood and broadcast TV - was worth close to $40 billion just few years ago. A federal judge overseeing the case is expected to grant discovery in the coming weeks if there is no settlement, the Post reported. Former CBS CEO Wendy McMahon and longtime 60 Minutes boss Bill Owens have both left their respective roles in protest of Paramount's willingness to settle. Stipulations set by the president require CBS to also issue a formal apology. Skydance - run by David Ellison, the son of Trump ally Larry Ellison - has named former NBCU chief Jeff Shell as the prospective boss of CBS News if and when the deal goes through. Shell is likely to downsize and address the alleged political biases in the network's news programming since it operates on public airwaves, the Post reported. The Daily Mail has contacted Paramount for comment.

JPMorgan's anti-WFH crusader Jamie Dimon lets top Europe chief work 3,000 miles from his team
A top JPMorgan Chase executive has been allowed to work remotely from his team - while CEO Jamie Dimon continues to crack the whip on employees with his return-to-office mandate. Filippo Gori, the banking behemoth's CEO of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), will be moving to New York City while continuing to run the European business, reported the Financial Times. He is ditching the company's London office - the epicenter of his workload - less than a year after relocating from Hong Kong to take the top job. This means that Gori is free to run the EMEA division five hours behind, and 3,400 miles away from, the bank's managers, staff, and clients whom he is in charge of. While Gori is expected to spend at least half of his time in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, he'll be living and working from the Big Apple - despite Dimon's incessant belief that managers and bankers ought to work together, in-person and in-office. By contrast, for example, Pablo Garnica, the bank's top executive of EMEA Private Bank, is based in Madrid, Spain - who stressed in an interview last year: 'We believe that being close to the clients and being part of that community is really important.' It's understood that Gori, who is also Co-Head of Global Banking, will be working from the bank's headquarters on Madison Avenue five days a week during his move. CEO Jamie Dimon (pictured) has felt the ire of his staff following his incessant belief that work from home is not effective for running a business Gori's move to the States comes amid CEO Dimon's heated criticisms of remote work, which have made him a champion of the return-to-office culture shift. The Wall Street veteran's ironclad anti-remote work stance has caused a seismic backlash ever since he first announced his plan in the years following the pandemic. '[Return-to-office] for the serfs, work from home for the aristocracy. Yep, sounds about right,' one person previously said. 'Rules for thee but not for me. I despise these double standards,' said another. 'Trash policy from a trash company run by a trash CEO,' added a third. 'Billionaires virtue signaling about "work" while they make 5000x more per hour than average wage is always hilarious,' said a fourth. Earlier this year, the JPMorgan Chase CEO announced that the company would require employees to return to the office five days a week starting in March. Dimon also said one reason he wanted people back in the office was that 'younger people are being left behind.' 'To have the younger people coming in but not their bosses - I have a problem with that too,' he said. He also noted that the benefits of in-person office conversations will help younger people to succeed in their careers. 'All day long we're talking,' he said. 'Constant updates, constant share of information.' Remote work means young people miss out on these conversations, essentially 'leaving them behind,' Dimon said. 'I won't do that.' Dimon further added that remote employees tend to not pay attention on company Zoom calls. His strong-armed stance on remote work went viral after one of the company's employees asked a question during a company town hall back in February. The question, posed by Nicolas Welch, a tech analyst at the bank since 2017, triggered an extraordinary rant from the chairman. 'Don't waste time on it. I don't care how many people sign that f*****g petition,' Dimon said. 'It simply doesn't work. It doesn't work for creativity, it slows down decision-making. And don't give me this s**t that work-from-home-Friday works. I call a lot of people on Fridays, and there's not a goddamn person you can get a hold of.' But his rampant anti-work-from-home mandate has infuriated many bankers. According to insiders, the discontent swirls across departments and seniority levels, with employees sharing concerns about surveillance, privacy, and the feasibility of a five-day office mandate, particularly in offices that don't even have enough desks or parking spaces to accommodate everyone. In March, Dimon obliterated a young crowd asking why they can't work from home while speaking at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business. He got onto the controversial topic after a graduate student asked a question regarding his leaked, expletive-loaded remarks from a company town hall about the finance firm's end of hybrid work. Dimon claimed the only group of people disgruntled with the move are 'the people in the middle' - like corporate office workers. 'If you work in a restaurant, you've got to be in. You all may not know this, but 60 percent of Americans worked the whole time,' he said. 'Where did you get your Amazon packages from? Your beef, your meat, your vodka? Where did you get the diapers from?' Dimon appeared to be referring to people who continued to work in person during the pandemic. 'You got UPS and FedEx and manufacturers and agriculture and hospitals and cities and schools and nurses and sanitation and firemen and military. They all worked,' he continued.

New York City could soon get Waymo self-driving cars
Waymo, an Alphabet subsidiary, is seeking a permit to operate self-driving cars in Manhattan with a trained specialist behind the wheel. The current operation in New York City is a test phase, not yet serving customers, as fully autonomous operation without a driver is currently illegal in the state. Waymo aims to eventually bring its fully autonomous ride-hailing service to New York, while the city's transportation office reviews the permit with public safety as a priority. Waymo's self-driving cars are already active in several cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, and Austin, with plans for further expansion. Separately, Elon Musk's Tesla is preparing to launch its own robotaxi service in Austin, starting with a limited number of vehicles and emphasizing safety.
