Cath Kidston to Close in Bath. New Metro Bank in Bath UK - Bath Today. We have been speculating about what new store could be taking over the space given up by Marks and Spencer’s for a while. The result has finally been revealed. It’s a bank but not one of the usual high street banks. British Banking Banking and finance are finally going through a massive disruption which quite honestly is well overdue.
I am a big fan of the British FinTech revolution going on and follow it closely. I also hold one account with a challenger bank. Why from different banking groups? Banking Woes As has been shown banks seem to be having great difficulty in maintaining their own sites, mobile apps and services. I work in IT and have many contacts I have met over the years from the belly of the beast and they assure me this is true. If you are able to have multiple bank accounts and can put a few hundred in each then you will be able to afford food and petrol if one stops working.

Castle Galleries One of my favourite galleries in Bath is Castle Galleries on Old Bond street near Nero Coffee, Charles Tyrwhitt and Jack Mills. Spread over two floors and offering a lot of wall space they certainly have a wide range of different sized pieces of art.
One particular collection of pieces are my absolute favourite. Large and signed collectors edition pieces of Marvel art. Marvel Art These pieces come in various sizes from the the massive Deluxe edition boxed canvas down to the Giclee on paper. On the left is the Hulk and if you look very closely you will actually find two signatures. Its not all about super heroes! Two of my favourite artists right now are Paul Corfield and John Myatt.
Finance If you find a piece you like and do not have all the money for one transaction they do offer a finance option too. Like this: Like Loading... Royal View coffee shop finally revealed as Coffee #1 - Bath Today. I have been waiting over two years for a coffee shop to open at Bath Riverside but that time has finally come and the big reveal is Coffee #1. Royal View will this week open its first commercial retail space. A coffee shop which many have been waiting a long time to open. Coffee shop at Royal View, Bath Riverside Coffee #1 may be familiar to some but this will be the first Coffee #1 store to open in Bath and is a welcome change to the other coffee brands that have been in Bath for many years. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good Costa latte and a gingerbread man but when there is more competition the consumer always wins.
Coffee #1 For those of you that do not know. Opening Soon The grand opening is happening on Friday 17th August and I’m sure it is going to be a fantastic location. Like this: Like Loading... Welcome to Century Casinos Bath | Bath’s Brand New Casino - Bath Today. Cath Kidston Products | Cath Kidston to Close in Bath - Bath Today. What's happening at M & S Bath? M & S Bath seems to be going through a few changes both inside and out of the store found on Stall Street.
Starting out as a market stall in 1884, M & S has grown into a multinational retailer. It is one of the most recognised, well known and trusted British brands found on our high street. Whilst M & S has recently been in the news for various reasons including management woes and profit warnings. M & S still generates substantial profits even during the trouble felt on the high street. Some fears have been raised that they are not connecting with the market place or with millennial’s.
M & S Bath The M & S Bath store recently closed off part of the ground floor which was suspected to be closed for renovations. Whilst the slightly smaller store should not impact the range M & S has available by much, the exciting opening of a new store will keep us guessing for a little while longer.

Bath is seeing a vast rejuvenation in the stores found on the high street and one industry that is leading the way is the finance industry. In particular, the banks. Banking finally feeling the heat?

With most banks talking about closing branches down, in Bath the opposite is happening. Competition is getting fierce Banks are no longer just competing with each other.

New Catering Supplies Store in Bath Open Soon | Bath Today. The ground floor of the WW2 damaged and the recently refurbished building next to the new Premier Inn has a new catering supplies store in Bath. We have been patiently waiting to see who would take up the space. Ok, maybe not patiently as I am very impatient but we finally have the answer! Opening on Monday the 11th September is Nisbets a catering supplier open to trade and the public. The ground floor of the building does not look like much from outside. This is due to the council making sure that the war damage was preserved (as they should so well done for that) but inside is a completely different story. It is a fantastic show of confidence in Bath for a new store to open in the city center.
