In 22 years since I started driving, within 2 miles of where I live 3 have closed but 1 has been added (Tesco). Still got 5 to choose from.
Pubs are another story, every other one seems to have a board outside saying "Business opportunity"

In our area we have lost two petrol stations, however the one that is left ramped their prices up once the second one closed.....

LPG we have lost 5 in 3 years, we have 1 in Plymouth who is charging 61.9p  :o :o

i use autogas they charge 53.9, the only other LPG station in the area has a permanently faulty pump   >:(

I thought the stations round here were dear! :o

.. and my local also seems to have a permanently dodgy pump. Last 2 times I've gone to fill up it has been closed. At least tonight there was a bloke working on it so maybe it'll be fixed tomorrow. Before that it filled at a snail's pace. In normal circumstances with a decent pump and a 4 hole tank and it doesn't touch the sides. ;D
