replying to u/Active-Knee1357: It's actually a local chain, and stuff is half price after 12 on Wednesdays, only way I can afford it lol.

replying to u/Upper-Lake4949: I'm pretty sure Poetica started with just a couple of locations near Windsor Terrace, the owner is from that area, and they opened somewhere around 2020-ish? I'm also pretty sure they are still all owned by one guy, but not sure what he did before or why he's aggressively expanding. I'd also wonder if it's that Poetica is "taking over" or if the guy is just good at getting in when another tenant is on their way out (if that's enough of a difference even, idk!). My ideal world would have variety and small independent businesses, but if the choice is Poetica or like...Blank Street? I guess it's Poetica.
“I'm more likely to choose the slightly more down-market Poetica.”
