Telegraph has suffered a surprisingly little-noted string of business failures. Closings include Wall Berlin, Octopus, Tetranet, the Oxygen Bar, and whatever was next to Athelete's Foot.. I can't even remember anymore. Since the more bread and butter shops like restaurants and grocery stores haven't shut down, this is probably not a heavy recession. Indeed, it seems like most of the closures were bad business ideas to begin with or suffered from special problems. (IE Wall Berlin: great location, clientele of funky people that didn't spend money.)
This raises the question of what, in an ideal world, would get put into Telegraph instead. My top ten picks: 1. Krispy Kreme. (I already talked a lot about this. Viva la Donut Revolution!) 2. Coldstone Ice Cream 3. Babbages 4. Police Station 5. Larger Post Office 6. Pub 7. Another Pub 8. Banana Republic 9. Asian restaurant (Juuuust kidding) 10. Something with a buffet Any better ideas out there? Email This Post! |
