💨 Abstract

The last Beales shop in the UK, located in Poole, Dorset, is closing due to tax and wage increases. The British Independent Retailers Association warns other shops may follow suit, as these increases impact businesses. Beales, a 140-year-old retail institution, has been struggling with younger shoppers shifting towards online shopping and high street footfall decreasing.
