They are opening their new Welsh-produce cafe on 1 December. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian Paul, the shop owner, said after two year in St David&#8217;s he decided to move to be among other small businesses in a historic Welsh location. He added the lower rents and rates in the arcades were a \u201csubstantial\u201d factor in the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shopkeeper said escalating costs for amenities such as water and electricity have been crippling in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is confirmed by a survey by Close Brothers Asset Finance which found the rising cost of doing business had affected <a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/closeassetfinance\/docs\/barometer_report_-_findings_-_final?fr=sMWZlNjYzMzcxNTM\">71%<\/a> of small and medium business owners in the UK in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul added that people have less disposable income due to the cost-of-living crisis, making it \u201cquite a tough time in the retail game\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bevanfoundation.org\/resources\/a-snapshot-of-poverty-in-autumn-2024\/#:~:text=Key%20findings,unable%20to%20afford%20the%20essentials.\">Bevan Foundation<\/a>, a Welsh think tank, published a report which found that despite inflation rates falling, many people remain unable to afford the essentials in Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite these challenges, the reduced costs of being in the arcade has allowed Secrets of Wales to expand with their new cafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their new cafe will be the end point for historical walking tours around Cardiff\u2019s arcades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" loading=\"lazy\"
