St. Davids Shopping Centre

What we really could do with in St David's is Zara Home

Top Shop/Man, I imagine would have to stay on Queen St as there is no units of the right size/layout in St Davids for them?

All depends if they want to move to somewhere of equal size or if they'd rather downscale. New Look Queens Arcade is due to close - that could accommodate a smaller Top Shop.

Of course, if Debenhams goes under there could end up to be quite a lot of space in St Davids.

Patisserie Valerie has today collapsed into administration, putting the future of their two Cardiff sites in doubt.

Hopefully someone will buy them out of administration, think the dodgy dealings by their CFO may have caused the problems.

- Yankee Candle & Bose have both closed their stores in St. David’s

-FatFace have closed their store on The Hayes for refurbishment and they appear to be introducing a mezzanine level

You can pick up Yankee Candles so many places now, practically every large supermarket and gift shop stocks them. They were quite difficult to find in the UK a few years ago. Surely they’ve just oversaturated the market and cannibalised their own store sales. I don’t think the unit they moved to was a good choice though either. Noticed the Yankee Candle shop on Wellfield Rd also closed recently.

Bose was always an odd store. Who goes to test out high end audio equipment in the middle of a busy loud shopping centre. Maybe one of the Victorian arcades would work better.
