Tim Hortons have a planning app for a third Cardiff outlet at 41-43 Albany Road. WTF??! An admirable show of confidence in the insatiable appetite of Cardiffians for coffee and dougnhuts or running before they can walk?
Talking of insatiable appetite for mass produced crap Greggs appear to be the first to take one of the units on the ground floor of the new BBC building in Central Square (they will be situated opposite the phantom bus station/offices/student resi). I fully expect one of Costa/Cafe Nero/Starbucks to take up one of the other units with Coffee No 1 an outside bet.
On a related note Chai Street will be opening their 4th Cardiff outlet in Wellfield Road in the near future. Once opened they will have branches in Cardiff Bay, Canton, city centre and Roath. If expansion continues at this rate could they be one of the few Cardiff/Welsh food and drink businesses that break into the English market?
