Good morning! Or, if your inbox is crazy busy, good afternoon/good evening.

It's tempting to start this week's round-up by recapping on the retailers who've revealed serious problems since last week. But, important as that is, there is some positive news about.

• Dorset’s famous iced coffee brand has branched out into selling beans for the hot kind.
• The bakery Greggs is one high street name that is seeing sales increase.
• The boss of Beales has told why he’s opening stores when other people are closing them.
• And a company running pleasure cruises in Poole Harbour is now in the ownership of a big player from San Francisco.
