That’s a lot in a relatively small space, does that unit have an upstairs?

Either way, something different is always welcome in Stafford

That's the sort of thing which the high street is going to start to provide more of, experiences instead of just shopping. Can't get those online.

Obviously done by someone who doesn't know the area or where the shop is. If you search on Google Maps (where the map is from) it does place Sports Direct in Izaak Walton Street.

I noticed that there is a barber's shop by the ex-Curry Kuteer, it's probably been there a while, I suppose.

But, I noticed it, because it has a board outside advertising "Sneaker cleaning, from £20 per pair".

This is now, in the UK and US a big thing. Thought it would be confined to the cities. Is there call for it in Stafford, is there a trainer subculture?

Wasn't there a stall in the market selling vintage/sought after/ restored sneakers, a lot if them are collectors items fir many people...I'm sure there was, but it may have been before covid....yes, it is a thing.....even in Stafford.
