New Look in Harrogate to close
New Look is to close its store in Harrogate's Victoria Shopping Centre.
Signs have gone up in the window of the shop saying it will close on February 26.
The fashion retailer sells women's clothing at its large Harrogate site, which is particularly popular with teenage girls.
A source at the store said customers and staff were "gutted and upset" at the news. They added that the company wanted to remain in Harrogate but finding a vacant store large enough had proved difficult.
The Stray Ferret understands about eight jobs are affected by the news. The nearest New Look shops are in Leeds and York.
A New Look spokesperson said:

The Stray Ferret contacted the Victoria Shopping Centre this morning for further details but was told it had no information to share on the matter.
The news comes less than two weeks after River Island closed its Harrogate store.
New Look, which was founded in 1969, has about 440 shops in the UK.
