Here’s some news of Anthony Hucker’s latest initiative. Apart from the presence of general merchandise, this seems to have quite a lot in common with Fresh & Easy. If you think Gentry (population 3,000) is small, we opened a Fat Face store in Beaumaris last week, a town of just 2,000 people in Anglesey, an island off the north-west tip of Wales. It took over £5,000 on its first day, which is a pleasing per capita spend!

.. mind you, Beaumaris is only a few steps away from the working home of the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge, so perhaps Alan is expecting some high profile customers!

Sadly, unlike Zara, I can’t see us being able to restock whatever Kate purchases in two weeks!
