Cardiff Retail

In 2013 planning permission was requested from "C/O The Kings" to turn Jessops it into a bar.

I hear through the grape fine the same people have to be waiting for the Jessops' lease to expire and are planning to do the same again.

(...... very interesting that Parc Lane fish and chip show has closed didn't the same people run that?)

I remember about a year or so ago hearing Pulse had plans to develop all the ground floor units of Churchill House into bar/restaurant units, running one new bar by itself and renting the rest out. It doesn't seem to have come to anything though and Wales Air Ambulance is now in the former HSBC Bank.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jessops becomes another charity shop considering the incentives they have compared to businesses. Pulse seems to have sewn up most of the trade from Wow's closure, looking a lot busier in the late afternoon/evenings, so I think they'd be foolish to open another bar which might once again dilute the trade.

Strong interest in Howells
