💨 Abstract

Trespass, an outdoor retailer with over 300 branches, closed its Aylesbury shop due to a lack of customers. This closure is part of a larger wave, with at least 12 Trespass stores shuttered in 2024, and similar trends affecting other retailers. Businesses attribute these closures to increased costs from government policies, post-Brexit and post-Covid labor shortages, and economic pressures.
