Phanthong lost the number 1 position in Altrincham to Essence about 2 weeks ago, but were Number 1 in the Town for the best part of 9 months of 2013

More importantly they were one of the most successful businesses in Altrincham

They took a location in Altrincham (the old Grapes pub on Regent Road) which had failed with about 3 different owners after the pub closed, made it a success and this year they open 2 new restaurants in Wilmslow alongside the Altrincham one

How many businesses want to find out how they became a success???
