Jack has now left Darren to manage the pub for a short term, although Darren lost ownership of the pub after a game of poker with Warren Fox in December 2007.
[edit] The Loft
Ever-controversial nightspot, which attracts just as much revelry as ribaldry. It has been owned by a number of residents including Scott Anderson who had arranged a number of dodgy deals in the premises before it was sold to Tony and Mandy Hutchinson to expand Il Gnosh, however it got too much for the couple especially after the birth of their daughter so they sold it to Max Cunningham-who was the bar manager-however when he had got involved with scheming Clare Cunningham (Devine) he had to sell it off as part of a deal. After her exit she sold it to Warren who is running it along with Louise.
Justin pushed Claire of the balcony of the Loft in an attempt to kill her, avenging the deaths of his sisters Mel & Sophie Burton, who had died in The Dog In The Pond Fire.
The Loft has survived fire, fights, a schemeful attempt by Mercedes McQueen to gain compensation after slipping whilst dancing on her hen night, there was also an incident when students suffered alcohol poisoning from unsafe cheap spirits being sold.
[edit] Il Gnosh
Latest incarnation of the local cafe, currently pitching itself at the cosmopolitan Europhile rather than denizens of the greasy spoon. Formerly Gnosh Village (pronounced vil-arzh). Sometimes informally called just Gnosh. Before Tony bought the premises, it was known as Deva, the cafe run by the Morgan family.
[edit] Drive 'n' Buy
Enduring convenience store that sells everything as long as it is in stock. Most popular brand being "Banana Bongo" flakes. The shop is family owned, and until mid-2006 was owned by Max Cunningham who inherited it from his late father. Wanting to keep it a family business, but at the same time wanting to spend more time with his family and running the Loft, Max sold to Neville Ashworth and his family. Neville invested in the shop with his family, who he hoped would take turns working there.
Nevills wife Suzanne works in the shop between her hospital shift, eldest son Rhys works during free periods at college, youngest son Josh and only daughter Hannah between school. Rhys soon decided he didn't want to work there as it would interfere with his music aspirations, so Neville hired Rhy's best mate Gilly Roach. Soon Josh and Hannah abandoned there shifts to study and socialise with there friends so Neville also hired Rhys former Girlfriend Sarah Barnes. Sarah worked in the shop between school, however when she and Rhys broke up she quit and started working in Washed Up. Neville then forced Rhys to take over her shifts but he gave the job to fellow student and drinking buddy Zak Ramsey.

It was formerly the Octagon which Tony Hutchinson had owned as part of Il Gnosh, until the two had brought it off of him calling it M.O.B.S from conjoining their names together, it attracts a lot of customers , with various themed specials and promotions occurring. Sasha Valentine had worked their for a while until Max employed his soon-to-be girlfriend Steph Dean who also helped with advertising by singing to try and attract customers.
