"Research showing that Aberdeen in the most entrepreneurial place in the UK after parts of London has been welcomed by business. The Local Data Company (LDC) recently published research into the evolving landscape of the high street, and found that in 2017-18, Aberdeen came second place in the net increase of independent retailers, seeing a growth of 39 independent shops in the city. Only Tooting in South London was above the Granite City with 43 more independent shops than the previous year."
