One of the (many) joys of the role we have is the opportunity it gives us to meet the people behind the highstreet businesses taking on vacant units, and hearing their stories.
The latest example was meeting Janna and Sami at their new Tava Turkish Cafe & Restaurant in Stirling – and it’s very well worth a visit if you’re in this part of the world.
One HighStreetPositives element of their story is that Tava is the fourth venture they have between them, which includes Janna’s hugely popular bakery.
It’s also always really encouraging and inspiring to read their own posts and updates, again well worth checking out.
Here’s a little of the new opening one:
“Standing there with Sami, seeing our team lined up outside, watching the ribbon being cut… it was emotional. Truly emotional.
“Thank you to every single person who came, who brought flowers, who shared kind words, and who believed in us. Stirling has welcomed us with such warmth — and we are deeply grateful.”
We’re seeing a number of new independent openings in town and city centres we’re working with on tackling #highstreet vacancy, and I know many other places are too, so we’d love to hear some of the people stories you have from those.
Do share…
