The Convenience Stores and Newsagents Association says up to 100 are shutting each year, with the rate of closures up since the Covid pandemic.
The association says rural areas are particularly impacted by a shop's closure.

He said a major concern across the country is that many operators don't have the option of passing their family businesses on to the next generation.
