DOES Stroud really need another coffee shop?
That is the question many will ask following the news of plans for a Coffee#1.
With a Costa and an array of independents already, there will undoubtedly be raised eyebrows and possibly even protests.
But anybody who has battled to find a seat in a coffee shop on a Saturday knows that another venue would be popular.
In Gloucester, there were protests when plans were announced for a new Costa a couple of years back. People said it wasn’t needed. But go there any day of the week now and the place is packed.
It will be the same with Coffee#1 here, and transforming the rundown vacant Blockbuster unit can only be a good thing.
