Coffee shop Caffe Nero has doubled the size of its premises on Market Place North in what is described as "vote of confidence" in Ripon.
The expansion was made possible after Sterne Properties Limited acquired the lease of the existing Caffe Nero and the adjacent property, which had been vacant since Leeds Building Society closed its Ripon branch in November 2020.
Tom Limbert, director of property consultants Central Retail, who acted on behalf of the international coffeehouse company, said:
Robert Sterne, director of Sterne Properties, told the Stray Ferret:
He added:
The company's portfolio includes The Claro Lounge on Market Place South, Curzon Cinema on North Street and Coffee at Number 10 on Queen Street.
Sterne Properties, which has been investing in Ripon for 30 years, also owns the Halls of Ripon premises on Fishergate - where The Hive Cafe is located - and Appleton's butchers on Market Place East.
