78) Franco's Restaurant, Aberavon Beach


Franco's began as a basic chip shop in a glorified hut on the prom in Aberavon Beach. The owners ploughed their money back into the business, and then built a purpose built modern chip shop, which forms the right hand part of the building. A couple of years ago they ploughed more money back into the business to create the restaurant which is now the left hand part of the building. Is it popular? Well, judge for yourself from the queue - this was admittedly a sunny July Sunday lunchtime.
