Just saw the 2023 stats for new business licenses in Edmonton
I was looking at the city's open data portal yesterday and saw we issued over 7,000 new business licenses last year. That's way more than I would've guessed, especially after all the talk about a tough economy. Did anyone else think the local startup scene was quieter than that?

That's a surprising number for sure. Makes you wonder what kind of businesses are opening up.

Right @sandraflores, saw three new vape shops open last month.

You mentioned vape shops, but I bet a huge chunk of those licenses are for home based stuff or online stores. Is the data broken down by business type, or is it just a total number?
