UK corner shops have experienced a significant resurgence, with a 98% increase since 2020, as consumers turn to them amid recent supermarket supply chain issues. Research indicates that while larger retailers face challenges and closures, corner shops have thrived, particularly in London and East Anglia. Driven by community spirit and dedication, these establishments represent the entrepreneurial resilience of small businesses, which collectively contribute substantially to the economy. Major supermarkets have had to retract operations, epitomizing the stability that corner shops provide in local neighborhoods.
"No one embodies community spirit quite like our local corner shops. Working in a corner shop for my first ever job, I saw first hand the dedication that goes into running a small business."
"The growth we've seen in this sector is testament to their strength and resilience. Small businesses are the lifeblood of our local communities, contributing trillions of pounds to the economy."
