CCFC shop in St Davids

Is it opening up again? I saw a few City staff members inside it, place was empty but it had the #OurCityIsBlue etc stuff in there, doing it up again are they and re-opening it?

Definitely losing money and I saw Vince say that the club were looking to get more merch in Valleys stores. But saw City staff in the shop the other day, not sure if the 'Our City is Blue' stuff was already there but might be potentially re-opening?

It was losing money because it was full of red shit , think it would do well again if it reopened now we have blue back

I asked about this in the stadium shop last week.
The lease on the St Davids shop has expired and there were no plans to renew it.

I've managed in the St Davids Ctr, & I know that the overheads are astronomically high. I knew it wouldn't last, just like the Cosway shop that it replaced. Very little turnover, & simply just not economically viable.

The Club shop at our stadium lost money on record perportions. Did they close that ? No the reason why they were both loosing money was the products on sale. Full of red shit. If the shop in St David's re opened selling the blue it would do very well I would of thought.

Correct. My parents were Xmas shopping in Cardiff the other day. They wanted stuff for my kids. Ccfc shop closed in st David's centre. They drove round to ccs on Sunday at 2.10pm to find that the shop opens at 9 and closes at 2! Google said shop was open till 4! Rest of retail park opens from 10 till 4. Fortunately they were staying overnight in Cardiff and were able to go back in morning.
