Heads up: 2026 could be a rough year for your go-to high street shops and restaurants. With rising wages and new business rates kicking in, many stores and eateries are feeling the squeeze. That means more closures and fewer choices for us as shoppers and diners. If you love a local spot, consider supporting them now—next year, your favorite coffee or pizza place might not make it. #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailTrends
