LondonMix Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I hope that's true! I heard the same about Speedo's Pizza and those dreams were dashed!

Louisa Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The Japanese restaurant rumours are partially true. Not sure if you'd classify a Wagamama as a genuine Japanese restaurant though? Louisa.

Emily00 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Japanese would be a good addition to the mix, but a wagamamas?! There are so many chains cropping up now.

LondonMix Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 What other chain has popped up? I can't think of any indie that has been replaced by a chain in years.Emily00 Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Japanese would be a good addition to the mix, but> a wagamamas?!

LondonMix Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 When did that happen? Wasn't that quite a few years ago?Also, Adventure Bar is tacky but its hardly a big chain. There are only 3 of them in the entire UK. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/46919-adventure-bar-closing/page/3/#findComment-769655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Didn't know that. I stand corrected. Maybe there is only three of them because they are all shit.

What have we got... Cafe Nero, Oliver Bonas, Gourmet Burger... that's about it I think.

StraferJack Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 well, greene King have taken over Capital Pubs. Judging by reactions to the Rye, that tells it's own storyFoxtonsPicture HouseFranco MancaNot necessarily a bad thing if you want chains. But they are happening, and will happen more frequently Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/46919-adventure-bar-closing/page/3/#findComment-769679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 But neither Foxtons or Picture House took over their site from independent shops. Franco Manca is taking over the site from another small chain. I get the point of course, but nevertheless, the prediction of "indies squeezed out by chains" has not really materialised yet to any significant extent.

LondonMix Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Exactly-- no indie has been taken over by a chain. And there are really very few large chains.
