A CAFE in Wrexham says business is booming, just months after being forced out of their previous location.
Winnie's café opened inside the former Everlast Gym in Wrexham in January 2022.
The business was doing well until February 2023, when the gym announced it was closing.
Everlast Gym, formerly DW, based at Plas Coch retail park told members that they would be closing the facility on February 19.
It came during the same week that plans were announced for a new M&S food hall at the retail park.
The Eagles Meadow store is set to close its doors this autumn.

The news came as a complete surprise to Donna Horsfall and Georgia Wynne, who co-own the café, and on discovering they would no longer have a location to trade in, they set about finding a new building in the area.
They eventually found a place at Plas Pentwyn community centre in Coedpoeth, where things have been 'brilliant' since they moved in last month.
Donna added: "I got told by a friend that the Plas Pentwyn site was available, so we were straight up here.
"It's been brilliant, we've been really busy which is great. We've had a load of our customers from the gym follow us up here, which is nice.
"It's been a blessing in disguise really, we're really happy where we are."
The café is open 9am-3pm Monday to Saturday and 9am-6pm on Wednesday's.
