In the Market Hall George Caffee has introduced a delicious selection of Polish inspired cakes and breads, Helo Cofi has re-branded under new ownership to Coffee @ Lilly’s whilst Old Town Vintage have brought an eclectic range of vintage and retro garments and accessories. Aberdare Arrows have enhanced the shopping experience not just with their superb range of darts and darts accessories, but also with their “try before you buy” facility. Cwtsh Kawaii have broadened our cultural experience with a range of Japanese goods but with a distinct Welsh feel, whilst KTC New & Pre-Loved Bargains have brought an eco-conscious approach through saving beautiful high-quality pre-owned clothing from going to landfill. In Market Street Bark Lane have opened their award-winning dog grooming salon and across the street Stacked Aberdare have recently launched the best handcrafted burgers in town made with 100% Welsh produce.
