New bistro owner flooded with support after 'be kind' plea

A woman behind new plans for a new bistro bar in Chester has been inundated with support after she urged people to 'please be kind'. It came after criticism of her plans, with some claiming there are already too many new venues in the area.

The plans were announced by Jackie Speed last month. She wants to pursue her dreams by opening JAK in Chester city centre. In a post on social media, she said businesses in the area are having to 'adapt' at a 'time of uncertainty'.

Ms Speed said that while Chester may not be the 'retail heaven some dream of', it has plenty of independent venues offering a 'social scene', CheshireLive reports. Many people wished her good luck and hit back at those being critical.
