New music shop set to open in Knaresborough
A new music shop is set to open in one of the large empty properties in Knaresborough in a move that will help to reinvigorate the town after lockdown.
The Music Bank, which is due to open on October 3, will be based in the old Barclays bank on the high street. It will sell instruments and offer music tuition.
Its owner, David Lombardi, wanted a place for customers to see and touch the instruments as well as a base to run an online store.
Mr Lombardi said:
The Music Bank already has a tuition centre in Rotherham, South Yorkshire teaching over 70 students each week.
The shop is currently advertising for seven jobs, including full-time and part-time staff for the shop and music tutors.
The new store comes as high streets try to regain customers after months of lockdown.
Knaresborough Chamber of Trade welcomed the new addition to the high street.
