Stenhousemuir shop stocks up on thousands more cans of full-sugar Irn-Bru
Day-Today Express bought in an extra 11,520 cans of the fizzy juice last week, with another bumper delivery expected today (Wednesday) and tomorrow to keep up with demand from all across the central belt.
The store will have taken in another 240 24-pack cases over the course of today and tomorrow.

Supplies quickly ran dry though as customers travelled from as far as Edinburgh, Fife and Glasgow to splurge out on the drink, often buying several cases at a time.
Shopkeeper Jawad Javed and his wife Asiyah have again decided to stock up on the full-sugar version, much to the delight of customers.
One Irn-Bru fanatic drove to the shop from Fife to fill a van up with dozens of cans.

“We got about four pallets, so that’s 480 cases of 24 cans. At the moment we’ll keep bringing it in.
“A woman came from Ayr for Irn-Bru, it’s crazy!”
