    Harrogate Gail's, on James Street.

    Seven months ago, the Stray Ferret revealed Gail's would be opening a bakery in Harrogate – its furthest shop north.

    Now the company has told us the opening will be on November 18.

    Anyone who has walked down James Street over the last few months will have seen building work going on, with artwork in the window from a local artist.

    A Gail's spokesperson said:

    The opening will bring Gail's craft baking to the community, including creating a number of craft baking, barista, and management roles. 

    We will also be donating surplus baked goods through our Neighbourly partnership, which will be distributing produce to local charities. This is part of our ongoing commitment to giving back to the communities we serve and improving access to quality food and drink on the high-street. 

    The bakery will open in the old Russell and Bromley site, right opposite Prêt à Manger.

    Gail’s, which has its headquarters in Camden, has more than 180 branches, mainly across London and the South East, and while it has several shops around Greater Manchester and Merseyside, this will be the company’s first branch in Yorkshire.
