Book your place at the launch of the 2023 Rural Shop Report, taking place on 24th January in the House of Commons.

The parliamentary reception will provide a comprehensive overview of the findings of the report, looking at rural shops’ economic and social contributions to the rural economy, as well as their investments, services, and the flexible, local employment opportunities they offer.

During the event, we will hear directly from rural retailers about the opportunities and the challenges that they face and the impact of upcoming regulations.

ACS chief executive James Lowman said: “Our Rural Shop Report is the essential guide for those interested in rural convenience stores and the vital role that they play in communities all over the UK.

“We are delighted to be returning to Westminster to highlight the policy priorities of rural retailers, explore the findings of the report and talk about the experiences of these unique and essential businesses.”
