Why The Grounds of Alexandria wins locally
Above-average 4.0★ rating shows the offer resonates with local trade. Likely the benchmark incumbent new entrants are measured against.
Lesson for new entrants: Compete on a tighter daypart (early breakfast or late specialty coffee) rather than matching their full menu breadth.
