Ho Lee Fook to take over popular cafe spot near The Barras
Sharing the news on social media, the husband and wife team said: "HOLEEFOOK!! Is EXPECTING!!!
"Introducing… Fook Me.
"Follow our journey, turning the epic @scrangla into a Noodz or Sando Bar. TBC."
Earlier this year, Scran shared plans to relocate to the Saltmarket area of the city after a hugely successful two years in the East End.
Confirming their last service in the London Road unit will be this Sunday, June 15, owner Chris Mears said: "It's almost time to pull the shutters down on our wee cafe for the final time.
"Our last day will be Sunday 15th, so you've still got two weeks to get your London Road Scran in.
"It's bittersweet, we've had loads of fun and made so many friends here over the last two years, but it's time to get serious and take things to a whole new level."
Scran will launch its new location at 180 Saltmarket on Saturday, June 21. Though details of new menu plans have been scarce, fans of the business have been urged to keep their eyes peeled for further updates on social media.
It is understood that Ho Lee Fook's original outlet at 1 McFarlane Street will remain open for business alongside Fook Mei at 239 London Road.

TV licence rules explained as changing watching habits could save £174
TV licence rules explained as changing watching habits could save £174 Some households may not even need a TV Licence, but avoiding it when you do need one could cost £1,000 Deciding what to watch could cost your £174 or more (Image: GETTY ) TV Licence regulations can be confusing, with some people potentially paying £174.50 unnecessarily, while others could be risking a £1,000 fine by unlawfully evading the fee. The need for a TV Licence largely hinges on the type of television you watch or record, and if you don't meet the criteria for a TV Licence, completing a straightforward form can keep the agency at bay. According to the TV Licensing authority, you'll need a TV licence if you watch any of the following: All live TV channels such as BBC, ITV and international channels Paid live TV services like Sky and Virgin Media Live streaming on services like Amazon Prime Video and Netflix BBC iPlayer This also encompasses watching, recording or downloading any of the above on any device. However, if you aren't watching any type of live TV or using BBC iPlayer, there's a chance that you might not require a TV licence. For instance, if you're solely watching DVDs, on-demand services like ITVX and All 4 or streaming sites like Netflix and Disney+, then according to the Daily Record, you won't need a licence. Article continues below Lee Stuart, a resident of Kirkby, falls into this category as he exclusively watches online streaming services. Initially, Lee had a TV licence registered at his home, but after ceasing to watch broadcast TV, he cancelled his licence. Months later, he subsequently received a Single Justice Procedure Notice in January alleging that he was watching live TV without a valid licence. When a case escalates to such an extent, people may face a penalty of up to £1,000 plus legal costs if they are brought to court. However, Lee, who represented himself in front of the judge, saw his case thrown out due to lack of proof. Following the judgement, a spokesperson from TV Licensing said: "This was reviewed by TV Licensing following the court hearing in April 2025 as is standard practice, and no failings were highlighted." Lee was under the impression his ordeal had ended, but he was promptly reminded by the agency about a potential need for a TV licence. Consequently, he lodged an official complaint and completed a 'No Licence Needed' (NLN) declaration. TV Licensing has acknowledged receipt of Mr Stuart's NLN form. Article continues below The online NLN declaration process involves outlining your viewing activities to establish whether you indeed require a licence. TV Licensing warns: "If you tell us you don't need a licence we may visit you to check. "If we then find that you have been watching, recording or streaming programmes illegally, you risk prosecution and a fine of up to £1,000 plus any legal costs and compensation you may be ordered to pay." TV Licensing's spokesperson further clarified that by declaring no need for a TV licence, one could halt the barrage of correspondence recommending and reminding the individual to procure a licence; this respite from letters will only persist for a year, after which they will recommence in case there has been a change in situation.
