Where is spending at Gauteng's independent businesses growing fastest? 🤔 Joburg's Southern Suburbs, where businesses processed 18% more over 12 months. Alexandra wasn't far behind at 17.3%. When locals keep choosing the business down the road, it shows up in the till.

Great things happening in Pretoria 🙌 Gauteng's fastest-growing area for new independent businesses isn't a famous business hub. It's Akasia in Pretoria North, up 14.4% in a year. Bronkhorstspruit, outside the major cities, grew 10.1%. The next wave of local business is opening where few people are looking.

Your edge isn't a famous address. It's the people within reach who choose you again and again. Across SA, half of food and beverage revenue comes from returning customers. Those who join a loyalty programme come back about twice as often. Regulars are half the business. Get Loyalty for your business powered by Yoco bit.ly/4sBDGyA

What you could do: before you open, move or expand your business, ask three things. Who lives 10 minutes away? Who already sells what you sell nearby? Do you know who your regulars are? The full data story, Gauteng's Greatest winners included: bit.ly/4jRrV4Q

Celebrating Gauteng’s Greatest. Chosen by you, loved by us. 💙 The independents deserve to be celebrated. They’re the businesses with a name above the door and a person behind the counter. They give our neighbourhoods their character, create jobs and bring our communities together. Let’s never stop giving them their flowers. 💐 #GautengsGreatest
