The whole sector has been gutted. So many hopes and dreams die on the hospitality and retail pile.
I think that technology has also played a part with more online shopping and getting take aways at home. But the high tax costs, hard to find decent staff, energy costs etc have made it very hard to operate. It’s always been a low margin sector mainly run by passionate people who are not solely doing it for the money. But when it gets too hard sadly people throw the towel in. So far there has been enough people with a dream to fill the space but they are becoming less and less and people see it’s an uphill battle the whole time.
