I could get organic products cheaper at the supermarket. I think your only mistake is believing in the Pontcanna myth. All the local retailers will soon realise, if you can't compete with supermarket chains undercutting your costs, you will lose trade. Pontcanna residents have no loyalty to anything except money. That's how they can afford houses in an affluent area, not by being community focused but by being good with profit and loss. I hope you find success in another venture.

I visited less and less as the stock in the shop dropped - when the shelves, fridges and freezers were full I used to buy quite a lot. It's a shame what happened and I'm really sorry to hear of your problems. I hope you will reopen somewhere in the not too distant future - I'm sure a lot of people in Cardiff would be really glad. Diolch yn fawr iawn, a phob lwc.
