History
Italian-born Ersilio and Edda Varese opened the first Blue Lagoon fish and chip shop on Sauchiehall Street in 1975.[1] Ersilio had moved to Scotland in the 1960s.[2] The business was taken over by their son, Angelo,[3] before being passed down to the third generation of the Varese family, brothers Simone, Allesandro and Gianluca, who are the current owners.[4]
In 2022, their 16th store was opened in Renfrew Street, Glasgow.[4]
The family also own the coffee shop chain Sexy Coffee.[2]
