The result was never in doubt at the Racecourse Ground as striker Paul Mullin netted twice in the crushing victory to continue the Red Dragons’ fairytale. The success on the field is leading to progress in the community too, with the added interest in the city of Wrexham as a result of McElhenney and Reynolds’ investment paying dividends. Caffi Wylfa boss Chris Davies has seen the cafe receive unprecedented buzz from both tourists and locals, which will only increase with Wrexham in League One.

He said: “We’ve probably just had our busiest year ever here at Caffi Wylfa, thanks to the local community and visitors to the nearby World Heritage Site, particularly walkers and cycling groups before they head off along the canal or the Ceiriog Valley. Behind the scenes, we’ve been modifying our business in recent years to ensure that we continue to provide a service to the local community, not just tourists. Pivoting has been a way of life since the pandemic and thankfully we’ve been successful so far with home deliveries, more efficient equipment in the kitchen and creating more outside space – all of which is leading to higher footfall and repeat custom which is really important for us.”

Cllr Williams added: “It’s been a vital part of my role to continually engage with our hospitality sector and understand the issues they are facing with the challenging economic position businesses face today.

I will continue to lobby the Welsh Government about all the concerns they raise with me. We are sending out the message globally that Wrexham is the place for investment and interest in future schemes is buoyant. What’s important for hospitality businesses to know is that both myself, our business team and our local This is Wrexham partnership are here to support them and help navigate any issues to allow them to focus on what they are brilliant at – delivering a fantastic customer experience!”

Wrexham face League Two champions Stockport in the final game of the 2023-24 season on Saturday.
