Cardiff wrote:The location just really doesn't fit the brand and locations i've seen else where, look a the one in Manchester, Bath, Salisbury, Windsor etc. They tend to be independent buildings of historical note and have an old world vibe where you do sit and nurse a cup of tea/coffee. I cant see someone enjoying eggs benedict while shoppers walk past your cheap seats and tables to pay for their car parking and then stare at you while they wait for the lifts. I think it may be down to the Cardiff demographic and maybe its a trial to see how popular this type of thing is in the area.
I don't think it's anything to do with Cardiff, and more to do with the way PV is expanding. Yes, you cite some nice examples but, most of the new shops are in train stations and shopping centres, which by their nature going to encourage a fast turnover of service, and takeaway-led sales.
