Wooster and stock

[cme]

Hi,

Saw some building going on in what was Wooster and Stock (junction of Kirkdale and Dartmouth Road). Anyone know what's happening?

I believe the retail part is being reduced in size to increase possibility of rental before becoming a cafe. The rear will presumably become residential.

Thanks!

It due to open in a few weeks, as a cake/coffee shop. The owners are local residents & have popped in to say Hello to me.

Oh good -- though I hope it won't harm Fig and Pistachio.

...crikey, is there really that much 'cake and coffee' demand on Kirkdale? Maybe they will be offering something slightly different from the other places doing very similar on that stretch...

Very good luck to them. I hope it's a great success!

There's always demand for cake
