Great News!

Take a look at the pie chart of retail in Stafford

Takeaway : 52%
Tattoo Parlours : 6%
Turkish Barbers : 7%
Nail Bars : 8%
Small convenience stores (Not engaged in illicit tobacco selling never, ever cross my heart etc etc) : 14%
Massage Parlours (More Happy Endings than Richard and Judys Book Club) : 9%
Any other shops wot sell things : 4%

Do you know where the best fry up in the town centre can be found?

Avoiding Wetherspoons or Post House

It used to be Sainsbury’s but I think they closed…

Did that vape shop ( or was it mobile phone shop ?) ever open in High Street that someone in a Worcester pub told me they were opening in the main street somewhere "up north end by a coffee shop"? Was quite some time ago they told me. Didn't sound like they'd done their research into how many others there were in Stafford at the time..

The vap shop opened next to munch and slurp by the old sports direct

The cafe seems quite popular, always a lot of people using it when I go past

Has sports direct moved or gone then?

Don't think Munch & Slurp was there before we moved from Stafford last year.
