    Cooplands has closed its bakery in Boroughbridge after little more than two years.

    The company, which is the second largest bakery chain in the district, opened a shop on the town's High Street in February 2021.

    But a sign appeared in the window recently saying the shop had now closed permanently and the nearest branch was on Beulah Street in Harrogate.

    The Stray Ferret asked Cooplands why it had closed its Boroughbridge branch and how many staff were affected.

    A spokesperson said:

    “Following an in-depth review of the business, we have proposed to make some changes to both our retail and bakery operations, to help better position the business for the long-term and sustainable growth.
    "This has been done to ensure that our store estate and broader business are fully aligned with our ‘modern bakery food-to-go retailer’ strategy.
    "As a result, we have entered into a consultation process with a number of colleagues. We appreciate that this may be unsettling for colleagues and our priority is to support them fully throughout this process.”


    The spokesperson declined to comment beyond the statement.

    Cooplands started as a single shop in Scarborough in 1885 and now has more than 160 shops in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and the North East.

    It was bought in 2021 by the EG Group.
