What business/ service is missing in the area

Just researching our possible move over.
What sort of thing do you feel is missing from the area? What business could the area benefit from?

Clothes for people on the large size, there have been a couple of the years but normally very expensive and then they close down. Our friend is massive and has terrible trouble getting clothes and almost impossible to get underpants, we have to go online or buy them when we visit the States, buying online the problem being is you never know how the sizes work out and the quality, it would be good to see first.

My wife is a size 16, she has a terrible time finding clothes. The problem is Spanish women tend to be petite size 8/10/12 so thats what the shops cater for.

Carrefour sell sell clothes for m/f. The brand is TEX. I think it’s their equivalent of ASDA ‘S George. I got a shirt last week 4XL and they had 6XL in stock. Trousers up to at least 56. I got joggers in size 52

The music bars are only 'missing' because they get closed down due to noise complaints and the bars that survive long term are those who don't play music. Some bars obtain special licenses for music on one or two nights and stick to set times of closing.

I'm a size 18 and tall and bought my everyday clothes, T, shirts, Jumpers, Trousers and crop trousers in Zoco and other markets. In fact the same jumpers were in a local shop in Quesada for double the price. I enquired and was told they get their supplies from the same source. . You can tell which are good quality.. The T shirts wash better than the M & S ones. Shoes were my problem as I'm a size 8. Most only go up to 7.
I've known several shops selling large clothes shutting down.
Not enough business.
