👁️ JUST AN EYE-OPENER FOR EVERYONE… Although a London-focused video it’s relevant to the whole country.
Ever wondered why so many local pubs, bars and restaurants are disappearing?
The hospitality industry is facing an incredibly difficult time, with rising costs, very little support and profit margins becoming smaller and smaller.
Behind every local business are people working incredibly long hours, often seven days a week, just to keep the doors open. And sadly, for many, the financial reward is becoming barely worth the effort.
Two things worth remembering:
🍺 1. When your local pub, bar or restaurant closes, you don’t just lose somewhere to eat or drink. You lose a meeting place, a community hub and somewhere memories are made.
❤️ 2. If you don’t support your local businesses, you risk losing them. And once they’re gone, they’re often gone for good.
This isn’t about asking for sympathy. It’s about raising awareness of just how difficult things have become for independent hospitality businesses.
You don’t have to spend a fortune to make a difference. Even popping in for a pint, a coffee or a bite to eat can help keep your local businesses alive.
🏡 Support local today, or you might not have a local to support tomorrow.
