I imagine you are writing about the two retail outlets alongside the front door of the travel lodge. And the fact that they haven't found a tenant.
This is not surprising. Anyone who has ever had the slightest involvement in retail will know that the position is paramount. Every potential trader falls into one of two groups. First there is the one selling any sort of goods where footfall outside the premises is essential. The second is a specialist. One where the customerwill find out where it is because they are the only ones that sell these goods or, more likely, provide the service.
This travel lodge site fails on both counts. First is has hardly anyone passing it. Have YOU ever walked along that side of the road? So it would have to rely on the visitors to the lodge or the adjoining hotels or the few residents that live close by. Secondly, a specialised outlet can go in a secondary street, like back madoc street, and do their trade and save themselves a whole load of rent.
