Saw this on bike radar the other day. Seems a bit mean to be chucking them out after running a pretty decent service for so long. However I don't know what the original terms of their lease were, so maybe they should have known it might have happened.
I didn't know that they were planning on building a big new visitor centre. I'm not sure about attracting more walkers to the forest, could cause some problems if they end up on the trails! If trails and walking routes are all well sign posted it should be ok though.

It is now being reported that when the new development opens in April, that the existing Hub cafe will be continuing to trade in competition for the first year.
The new cafe will be run by the owners of the Glentress Hotel, so the commitment and market knowledge of the team should not be in any doubt.
Likewise, Alpine Bikes are going to be running the new the shop. The few times I've been into the Edinburgh store they're been helpful, so hopefully that's a good sign too.
