Time to make your mind up about what train of thought you are actually going with.
Wot?
I think you are misunderstanding.
When I was a student there were only four (or so) COFFEE shops in the centre of Cardiff, now there are loads. There were always fried brekkie places, now there are probably slightly more.
There are definitely way way more eating places in general actually.
So you in favour of starbucks because you don’t like homogenisation.
Er again that’s not what I am saying. There is now more choice because we have Starbucks and Costa and the other food chains – they have created a market. Starbucks have not displaced anyone afaik, in Cardiff.
My point about homogeneity is that almost everywhere sells the same breakfast food. Apart from Starbucks.
