A former bookmakers in one of Cardiff's busiest streets is set to be transformed into an 'innovative' new coffee shop. London chain Black Sheep Coffee is set to take over the former Paddy Power shop in St Mary Street nearly a year after announcing they would be opening at another site in the city centre.
The bookies shut earlier this year after nine years in the street with a new tenant confirmed to be converting it into a coffee shop. A planning application for new signage at the site has revealed the previously unknown tenant to be Black Sheep Coffee with this application approved by the council earlier this month.
It comes after signs appeared outside Southgate House in nearby Wood Street last summer announcing that the chain would be "coming soon" to the vacant site. That branch, which would become the company's first in Wales, is yet to open nearly a year on from that announcement but another application for new signage was approved for that site just last month with the location still featuring on the Black Sheep Coffee website.
