Harrogate town centre Sainsbury's to open in next two months
Sainsbury's is planning to open its new Harrogate's town centre store in the next couple of months.
The supermarket chain had hoped for a late summer opening but only managed to get permission from Harrogate Borough Council in late July.
When the new Sainsbury's Local shop opens it will create 25 new jobs and also bring the former Topshop unit at 33-37 Cambridge Street back into use after four years.
While there's not been too much movement at the store in recent weeks, the internal fit out is due to start before the end of November.
The developer plans to split the building into three seperate units. Sainsbury's would occupy the largest on the left side.

Skipton Building Society is also planning to move in but it is unclear at this stage which business will take on the third unit.
Patrick Dunne, Sainsbury’s Property Director, said:
Mr Dunne added that his team is also in the process of finding a charity to donate excess food to.
Sainsbury’s already has four stores in Harrogate: a large store on Wetherby Road and smaller Local stores on Leeds Road, King’s Road and Cold Bath Road.
