Geographically, Colwyn Bay is perfectly situated at the heart of North Wales, just off the A55. Easily accessible by car, train or plane, it is the largest town on the North Wales coast and, as such, is a thriving regional commercial centre. A number of major businesses have already seen the many benefits of Colwyn Bay and invested in the town including Swedish bank Handlesbanken.
Retailers, big and small, are also investing in the town and contributing to its diverse economy. Recent additions include Costa, Dominos and Subway as well as a number of independent traders.
A whole host of small independent shops and services sit alongside the more well-known ‘High St’ names, and coupled with the town’s twice weekly traditional street market, provide a great shopping experience.
The town has a population of more than 30,000 people so there is a wealth of talent and potential customers waiting to turn your investment into reality.
