A GLASGOW restaurant has suddenly closed just weeks after opening. 

Yum Yum Chicken opened on Gordon Street on August 15 and, as the name suggests, the eatery specialised in chicken dishes such as burgers and tenders.

It came after months of anticipation as signage for the new food spot first appeared in February.

But after just over a month of operation, the team has decided to shut its doors due to "ongoing maintenance issues".

They say they will be back "soon" but a reopening date was not revealed.

A spokesperson said: "Glasgow, it’s been brief but we loved every tender minute with you.

"Due to ongoing maintenance issues, we’ve made the difficult but necessary decision of closing to fluff up our feathers.

"We expect to be back with you shortly, but we’re not gonna cluck around."
