OPERATORS behind a cafe bar and gift shop in Rhos on Sea are moving into a site previously leased by Apprentice winner Alana Spencer.
Alana, who runs Ridiculously Rich, opened her cafe by the paddling pool in Craig-y-Don, Llandudno, in May 2021.
Alana has closed her cafe after less than two years of being in the town.
Darren Randle of Coast cafe bar and gift shop has taken on the tenancy. Mr Randle plans to open the new business in the next few weeks.

COAST cafe bar and gift shop posted on Facebook: "We are delighted to announce our new venture to the ever growing COAST cafe bar and gift shop, Rhos on Sea. We are hoping to be open within the coming weeks and aim to bring a new lease of life to the highly populated Paddling Pool area along Llandudno Promenade.
"Big changes are coming to the paddling pool cafe, and the community and family are our priority.
"Keep an eye on our socials to be the first to know our next move, and thank you to everyone for the forever growing support."
St Davids Commercial confirmed the deal had taken place. The estate agents, founded in 1990 by Colin Flannigan, informed the Pioneer that a "local operator had taken over the kiosk."
Cake-maker Alana won the BBC One's The Apprentice and secured a £250,000 investment from Lord Alan Sugar in 2016. She went on to create Ridiculously Rich by Alana before launching Ambassador and Cakepreneur schemes.
In October 2019, Ridiculously Rich moved into its first purpose built bakery in Alana’s home town of Aberystwyth.
In 2021, Alana spoke out about "negative comments" she received on Facebook prior to opening her new venture in Llandudno. The Pioneer let Alana know that there had been lots of positive feedback readers.
The Pioneer attemped to reach out to Ridiculously Rich. No response was received.
