Mint Velvet plans to open in former Harrogate Joules store
A high street women’s fashion chain looks set to open in the former Joules store on Harrogate’s James Street.
Mint Velvet has applied to North Yorkshire Council to refurbish and display signage at the unit.
The outlet has been empty since Joules closed its store on May 20.
It followed the company falling into administration in November 2022 until Next rescued it by paying £34 million for the business, plus £7 million for the head office site.
Now, Mint Velvet has tabled plans to refurbish and rebrand the former Joules store.
In documents submitted to the council, the company said:
The current Mint Velvet store on Harrogate's James Street.
North Yorkshire Council will make a decision on the proposal at a later date.
The move comes as the fashion chain has already opened new outlets in former Joules stores in Solihull and Chelmsford.
The Stray Ferret approached Mint Velvet to clarify the future of its current store at 36A James Street, but did not receive a response.
