Don't think it is @Gareth posted something previously saying it was the former Lapels clothes shop on Market Street.

How do I edit this?
Surely the Dog House is on Martin Street? Market Street is the Rose & Crown side of the Shire Hall.

"We will specialise in high quality craft beer and spirits, pairing them with a specially selected playlist of excellent music; ranging from jazz and ska to indie and rock n’ roll. We shall be keeping to “traditional” pub opening hours, keeping the atmosphere friendly and welcoming. The bar will also offer a take-out service, however this will only be a side-line and not the main service offered by the bar."

The old Greenwoods has been let to a discounted furniture store by the look of the signs going up this morning.
Really?

The town will grow and develop around the desires of the customer. If people don't visit shops, they close. The Angel House was a nice shop but ultimately not enough people spent money there - if the town don't want a shop it can't/won't stay. Perhaps there are so many coffee shops because that is what the people of Stafford want. The same could be said of Vape shops, phone shops, betting shops, barbers and charity shops and yet they seem to keep coming. I hear people every day moaning about all the shops in Stafford closing down who then admit they never buy anything in the town - it's really not rocket science - and yet, when a shop has a virtual monopoly like the schoolwear shop, people moan it is too busy, too expensive, too small (for the four weeks of the year that they actually take loads of money).
If we don't use the town and the Retailers within it we will lose them, and if they don't provide what the customer wants they will not be used - so coffee shop it is then !

Hear hear.
I like to complain about a dying high street as much as the next guy, but I fully acknowledge that it’s a combination of 2 things: people not using them, and business rates being absolute insanity.
