New research has shown that independent stores are outperforming major retailers on UK high streets, amid worry for the future of the traditional shopping experience.<\/p>\n

Consumer group Which? says that funeral directors, tattoo parlours and hair salons are among those stores which are thriving – moving high streets away from being “carbon copies” of one another and towards a model of personal services and specialists.<\/p>\n

The group measured 1.5 million Ordinance Survey records to compare the shape of British high streets between 2014 and 2019, with a focus on businesses that do not feature prominently online, such as those offering personal services.<\/p>\n

Ten areas of business have seen an increase in the number of premises on high streets – with six of those being in “eating out and services” category.<\/p>\n

The biggest increase since 2014 has been in banqueting and function rooms, which have seen a 114% rise in the amount of premises.<\/p>\n

Markets were also big winners on the high street, with 52% more in towns and cities compared with 2014 – one of the few business areas classed as retail in the top 10 best performing sectors.<\/p>\n

Tattoo parlours and piercing services have seen their presence increase by 44%, while the number of cafes, snack bars and tea rooms went up by 35%. Hair and beauty services have increased by 31% in the last five years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2470,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[11],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lutonindoormarket.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2465"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lutonindoormarket.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lutonindoormarket.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lutonindoormarket.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lutonindoormarket.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2465"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/lutonindoormarket.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2465\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2492,"href":"https:\/\/lutonindoormarket.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2465\/revisions\/2492"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lutonindoormarket.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2470"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lutonindoormarket.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lutonindoormarket.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2465"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lutonindoormarket.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
