Coffee chain petition call
A STORM is brewing over a bid for another new coffee shop at Cirencester.
Chain Coffee #1 wants to open at the Old Post Office development in Castle Street.
But its bid to launch in the former Jack Russell menswear shop is a threat say many existing independent cafes. The town has coffee giants such as Starbucks and Costa Coffee. A petition objecting to any more chains has been launched by Jack's Coffee Shop owner Anne Rainy-Brown. "We're still in a recession and it's not fair such huge competition is being forced upon independent shops," she said. Chain Coffee #1 agents WYG Planning and Environment Ltd said the proposal was a "positive and beneficial addition to Cirencester town centre".

“Tim, yes a free Nando's chicken meal for one for just a couple of quid - rather than Nando's normal menu price of £8.95.”

“Tim,
I've now found a way of not paying for 'overpriced' coffee in town centres as I always comment on here. Now I search on ebay and buy completed free coffee voucher cards from the major chains for a fraction of what it costs to fill a card with between 6 to 10 stamps/stickers. You can easily buy un-used McDonalds stickers by the roll! I'm sure they are fraudulently obtained but they sell lots on ebay so I thought why not. It works out you can get 6 McDonalds coffee stickers for around 40p which will get you a free cappuccino at any McD's worth £1.79. Bargain!
You can buy completed cards for Caffe Nero, Costa, Nandos, M&S and many more.”

“NibNobs - you are correct, they can't refuse planning permission on the grounds that another local business will lose trade, the Coffee#1 in Gloucester is always busy and will have had an impact on Starbucks, Nero and Costa but did you see them kicking off about their opening?”

“Of course they will get planning permission - they always do”
