Moving out of Fort Street to larger premises nearby where they can combine the bakery with a café again looks like expansion to me and they don't seem to be shutting the Market Hall operation down. At most they seem to be switching production from bread to other (probably higher margin) lines. I doubt beer has a bigger margin, unless they are licensing the premises then the get the production profit and the retail profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This overgrown child savours the opportunity to drool over bike porn whilst the kids have pancakes and the wife a cappuccino. Personally I think a bike shop cafe combo is a great idea. I also think the food at 360 is better than Noa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'transformed' I'm not so sure. I've been in the one in Jersey, it didn't change my life. Santander Bank/Cafe like Jersey. I think Noa are running it but could be wrong.

How well does the Eagle labs do? It always looks very quiet inside when I walk past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Aren't Noa moving into the LLoyds Bank building? With production facilities, they won't need the Fort St building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 You're right, I did hear that the Govt are cutting back and that Noa are taking over the Wedding Cake building!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 '' Noa on the Quay'' sounds so much posher than Noa in the Old Market Hall !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshoremanxman Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 11 minutes ago, Roxanne said: Disagree. It didn't work so well for NOA but it works well for Cycle 360. It also works well at Cranky's in Peel where the two business compliment one another. Not only is the coffee excellent but the cafe side have almost turned into a bit of a community centre with evening events on that are well attended. I'm off there on Wednesday and I bet it will be packed with regulars and passing trade. There’s always very few people in the bike part at either Noa or Cycle 360. They aren’t really that complementary anymore. The whole pandemic work life balance nonsense is over and more people don’t have the time or money for either a very expensive latte or a £5K pushbike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
