Winning firms share £1m
Each of the six winners of the Retail Rocks contest, backed by more than 1 million in funding from the Scottish Government and Aberdeen City Council, are being offered the chance to breathe new life into the suburb's retail sector by opening up a new business in one of six empty shop units.
The entrepreneurs will be able to run their shops rent free for a year and they will also be offered support and mentoring from business experts to help their business grow and flourish.
