Pop-up shop offer proves a hit with Knaresborough businesses
A pop-up shop on Knaresborough High Street has proved so popular it has been booked up for the rest of the year.
The owners of Sid Horner and Son decided to offer their former premises as a pop-up for a week at a time to help boost the town's independent businesses.
After offering the shop at £250 a week including all bills, the company was inundated with interest and, within two days, had filled the calendar until 2024.
Owner Natalie Horner told the Stray Ferret:
Mrs Horner said the people who had signed up would be offering a range of products including homeware, clothing, stationery, swimwear, and eco and sustainability items.
The shop, which was previously used by Sid Horner and Sons before becoming a chiropodist's treatment room, is currently undergoing renovations, including colourful paintwork outside,
The first pop-up is expected to open in mid-September.
