Charity shop to open in Ripon's former Argos
The YMCA has confirmed it will open a shop in the former Argos unit on the Marshall Way retail park in Ripon.
A spokeswoman for the YMCA, which helps young people, said the shop would sell furniture and electrical goods as well as the usual charity items and donations "would be hugely appreciated".
She added the opening date had yet-to-be confirmed but it was "looking like early February".
The spokeswoman said:
"The store will employ a manager and two assistant managers initially and we are looking for volunteers for a variety of roles.
"We will start shop set up work from next week so things will start to happen."
Argos relocated to the Sainsbury's site on Market Place East after the covid lockdown was lifted.
