Café in Cheshire  Pure have over 10 years experiences running commercial cafes  We plan to open a commercial café within Cheshire East. Macclesfield or a park would be Pure’s preferred option  The café would have opportunities for 4/5 clients per day to learn and develop new skills  The risks we face is the start up costs and rental of premises alongside the current client referral method in Cheshire East
