Ever noticed your go-to high street shops vanishing? 2025 was rough for UK retailers—big names like Starbucks, Poundland, and WH Smith closed loads of stores. Blame it on pricier groceries, higher bills, and everyone tightening their belts. For shoppers, this means fewer places to grab a coffee or score a bargain. For brands, it’s all about survival: fewer shops, more focus on what works. Next time you see an empty storefront, just know it’s not just you—everyone’s feeling the pinch! #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailTrends
