this is square-mile coffee roasters or
at least it used to be we've gone moved
out vacated the premises and I want to
tell you why now we've been in this
building since 2011 and it's actually
not far away from our very first
location under the railway arch back
then we knew we wanted to stay within
the neighborhood during our search Tim
Williams saw this warehouse for rent on
his cycle home and we got in touch and
while it needed a huge amount of work we
could afford it
and so we moved in doing a lot of that
early construction ourselves over time
we took on more and more of the building
until we had the whole thing now a
couple of years ago our landlord changed
someone bought the building and at the
end of 2018 our lease was up and that
meant renegotiating our lease from
scratch a new landlord
felt an appropriate rent would be four
times what we were currently paying and
while we negotiated for a while he only
managed to get it down to a mere
tripling of the rent if we chose to stay
frankly we didn't feel comfortable
feeding the greed of London landlords we
didn't want to raise our prices or
impact the earnings of the team just to
feed the greed of one man so we left
it's bittersweet sad to leave a
neighborhood that we've been part of for
so long but exciting because our new
space will let us do so much more so
where have we gone what are we doing
there
you just have to wait and see
