A gap in the market has prompted a well-known Whanganui cafe owner to take a slice of her business to a new location.
Lyn Crawford, who has operated Springvale Cafe in Devon Rd for five years, is opening Detour in Liffiton St (State Highway 3), selling quality takeaway food and
coffee.
"It's not a lunch bar, it's not a takeaway but there will be no sit-downs and all the food will be to take away," Crawford said.
"We'll have all the cabinet food and quality coffee we have at Springvale and will make our own quality pies. Our chefs are concentrating at the moment on making some very nice pies. We'll have takeaway salads and we'll do soups in the winter.
"We're aiming at better quality takeaway food but we'll do some sandwiches as well."
