It has signed up Kiwis Bowis and Which Wich
Which Wich and Kiwis Bowls has taken space at the Cardiff Bus Interchange.
Cardiff Bus Interchange has signed up new tenants to its ground floor retail element. The bus station, which is managed by Transport for Wales (TfW), has attracted Kiwis Bowls and the international sandwich specialist Which Wich.
They follow the opening of a Starbucks in April last year.
Alexia Course, chief commercial officer at TfW said: “We’re delighted to welcome these new retailers to Cardiff Bus Interchange.
Following the arrival of Starbucks last year, these new additions now bring even more choice for passengers and strengthen our tenant mix. We’re creating spaces that serve customers and support local businesses.”
The integration of these units was managed by TfW’s recently in-housed commercial property team.
Supporting the interchange’s digital infrastructure, the project highlights a significant digital milestone. TfW subsidiary ffeibr provided both retailers with high-speed business broadband, showcasing a successful internal collaboration between TfW and ffeibr.
Guy Reifer, managing director of ffeibr, added: “This is an exciting milestone for ffeibr, as we continue our expansion into the direct to business sector.”
“Our mission is to provide reliable, high-speed connectivity that helps Welsh businesses, as well as businesses in Wales, thrive, and this partnership is a great example of that in action.
Cycle storage
Moreover, TfW by providing secure storage for cyclists through its cycle hangar project. TfW has installed 40 cycle hangars across seven different housing associations and eight local authority areas as part of phase one of the project.
TfW worked closely alongside specific housing associations who proposed the sites following an initial expression of interest that was issued. TfW then carried out joint site visits to evaluate each location to ensure the best fit for the cycle hangars and the housing associations.
Deputy Minister for Transport Mark Hooper said: “Cycling is one of the most affordable, healthy and sustainable ways people can get around.
“Ensuring everyone has access to secure storage is a vital part of making that a practical option. These new cycle hangars for housing association tenants show what we can achieve when we work together to make it easier for people to cycle.
Nicola Grima, active travel delivery programme lead, said: “We’re so pleased to have completed phase one of our Cycle Hangar project alongside many housing associations within different local authorities across Wales.
“The lack of secure cycle parking is a barrier to people choosing to cycle for everyday journeys, so providing secure cycle parking is a way to overcome this barrier. Wales has great walking and cycling infrastructure and we want as many people as possible to make use of it.”
TfW has confirmed that phase two of the project is already in development which will provide 40 hangars across 10 local authority areas.
