[Sussex] Seaford coffee shops

[goldstone]

How come there are no chain (Caffe Nero, Costa, Starbucks) coffee shops in Seaford? Very unusual for a town of its size. I'm not suggesting it's a bad thing (I've been to some decent independents there), but I'm amazed they've been able to keep the chains out. On the other hand a smallish village like Forest Row has a Costa.

Not particularly unusual. Shoreham hasn’t got a chain coffee shop too. Both towns have a population of around 20,000. Edit: come to think of it, Portslade hasn’t either.

I’m not complaining too. Tax dodging chains are destroying small and unique business.

Seaford has a couple of lovely independent coffee shops if remember rightly. Hari-Nats is one and there are some in the high street.

Nice home made cakes etc so much nicer than a chain.

The Front Room serves good coffee, and also Pomegranate too. Both independents worthy of support.

Yep. Grumpy Chef is excellent too.

I'm not sure why the public flocks to the likes of Costa and Starbucks? .

Lack of imagination?
