Good morning, Warrington! Pour yourself a coffee and take a few minutes to catch up on what’s happening —this edition pairs perfectly with your brew.

In today's edition:

🛍️ TJ Hughes Opens Where Debenhams Used To Be
☕️ Blossom Cafe Bar Opens
🗓️ Big Weekend What’s On Guide
😉 Plus Wordle, The Weather, and From The Papers

Let’s begin ☕️

TJ Hughes Opens 🛍️ 👏

Yesterday was the official opening of TJ Hughes, which, according to the poll I did in the newsletter a few weeks ago, most of you seemed very happy about.

While most towns are closing, we have new stores opening. Our town center might not be as good as it was in the 1990s, but it is pretty good compared to other similar-sized towns.

Were you there on opening day? What did you think of it?

Blossom Cafe Bar Opens ☕️

We saw a post on Wednesday about Blossom Cafe Bar's soft launch. We didn’t get to check it out ourselves, but the picture above is from their Facebook page. It looks great and will be a great addition to the town.

If you are wondering where it is, it’s on the corner of Bridge Street near the entrance to the market, and it's what used to be Heavenly Desserts, which closed earlier in the year.

Find out more on their Facebook page.

What Do You Want To See More Of In The Newsletter? 🤔

I love writing this newsletter and reading replies from yourselves. Everyone has been so positive.

However, deciding what content to include in them is sometimes challenging.

Sometimes, I am limited by what’s on that week. Other times, some things I publish that I think will get loads of clicks don’t get many….. and ones I think people might not be fussed about getting a lot of interaction.

So, my question is….. what would you like to see more of? I will see if I can make it happen. 😀
