Here's what I know in short, and it was me that tweeted & told some people about this.

A while back my friend found out who the landlord was & hand delivered a letter saying she was interested in renting it.

She was due to sign the lease to open a gift/homeware shop (different to Bunka so as not to be in competition) but the original tenant decided for whatever reasons he wanted to keep the lease on the day she was due to sign.

The shop again was just left.

A few weeks ago someone came to ask if I knew of any info on a few empty shops as he wants to open a fishmonger/greengrocer so I have been in contact about this & passed on the landlord of "From the Forest" number.

He called the landlord & the landlord told him the original tenant said he wasopening something soon but would keep his details just incase.

So my guess is the original tenant is now opening something but I don't know what.

But then again if I'm not a 100% reliable source then I may be wrong so please correct me if I am.
