New interior furnishings shop to open on Harrogate's James Street
An interior furnishings brand based in Lincolnshire is to open a new shop in Harrogate town centre.
Sophie Allport has taken the lease on 43 James Street – where Phase Eight used to be – and a company spokesperson said the new shop would open at the "start of November".
The shop is currently undergoing a refit but a sign in the window says the company is recruiting new staff – a shop manager, a supervisor and sales assistants.
Sophie Allport, who founded the firm that carries her name in 2007, told the Stray Ferret:
Some of this season's designs.
Sophie Allport sells a wide of range of home items in “British heritage” style, and currently has shops in Stamford and Bourne, both in Lincolnshire, as well as a well-developed ecommerce operation. The Harrogate branch will be its first outside its home county, but will it be the first of many?
