Coffee shop owners forced to shut up shop during the pandemic and reinvent the business in a mobile trailer have opened a pretty in pink new home. There's no missing the eye-catching container in Colwick Park, which opened on Wednesday (March 8) serving warming cuppas and filling snacks.
Très Gretton-Roche and her partner Vanessa Gretton-Roche had owned Wired coffee shop in Pelham Street, Nottingham, until Covid hit. When it reopened after lockdown, the city was like a ghost town, making trading unviable. It left them with no option but to close.
Instead of wallowing in despair, they came up with the idea for Wired on Wheels, a mobile coffee trailer, serving the same calibre of drinks and food that the bricks and mortar cafe was known for. The venture was so popular that they have now moved into more permanent premises in the same park location overlooking the lake.
