Harrogate gets another pop-up shop as demand soars
The Victoria Shopping Centre in Harrogate is to get a second pop-up shop in the run-up to Christmas.
The company behind the initiative, Barker Proudlove, said it had seen a surge in enquiries in the run-up to the festive season and was confident it could fill another unit.
The pop-up shops give independent businesses the chance to rent units in the centre of Harrogate on a weekly basis without having to commit to long-term rents and rates.
The first one opened in the Victoria Shopping Centre on the corner of Cambridge Street in September and is already fully booked until Christmas,
Following its success, the former Grape Tree health food shop is also to become a pop-up.

Jessica Swain, from Barker Proudlove, said:
The new pop-up will open with Martha and Bea, a clothing and accessory business from Ilkley, on Monday.
Barker and Proudlove said there were still opportunities to hire the new unit this month and in December.
The Cambridge Street shop currently houses 2 Little Mice, with Jane Gales Designs arriving next week followed by Posh Tat on November 15.
