Knaresborough to welcome new shop to its high street
This new shop is one of a number to open in the town in recent months. Following the pandemic, the high street is hoping for a boost to trade.
This is a mock-up of what the shop's new signage will look like.
A new shop is opening on Knaresborough's high street this month.
The Clothing Store of Knaresborough will open on October 24 at 58 High Street.
Its owner says the store will "cater for everyone" by offering clothing in sizes eight to 32.
Coronavirus forced high streets to close down, but since shops have reopened a number of businesses have opened up for the first time in the town.
Owner Rebecca Lombardi said:
"I've been selling online for quite a while and I really liked the town and the people so it seemed right.
"Obviously it looks like the scariest time to launch something but it's really important people do things like this because the high streets are impacted otherwise. I am confident enough the online side will cover costs and the shop will be additional."

Rebecca is hoping to work with other small businesses in the area, offering those without shop facilities to put their products in hers.
She added:
"I am offering small businesses the option to put their stock in my store too: so far I have two jewellery brands, including one from Yorkshire."
"I think small businesses can be stronger as one."
