New Sainsbury's in Harrogate town centre gets green light
A plan to open a new Sainsbury’s store in Harrogate town centre has been approved.
The Sainsbury’s Local store is set to open in the former Topshop unit at 33-37 Cambridge Street, which has been empty since 2017.
The disused unit is set to be divided into three retail spaces, which will enable Sainsbury’s to set up in the largest outlet.
The store is also expected to bring 25 new jobs to the area.
Harrogate Borough Council has now given the go-ahead for the proposal.
Skipton Building Society has also submitted plans to lease the central unit and refurbish it to include open plan public space, office spaces, toilets and staff space.
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.
