SpudBros opens new Portsmouth shop near long-standing rival

SpudBros, a popular potato stall, will open a new location in Portsmouth, the same city where they previously threatened a rival business with legal action over its name. The new SpudBros store is set to open just yards away from Jacket Potato Ladies, a vendor that has operated in Portsmouth for over 35 years. This follows SpudBros' earlier dispute with "The Spud Father," which was forced to rename to "Spud Fusion." SpudBros, with millions of TikTok followers, aims to expand its brand, while local businesses express concern about the impact of the new, larger competitor.
