Sneak Peek: See what's in store at Ripon's newest business venture
The newest addition to Ripon’s high street officially opens for business at 7.30am tomorrow (Tuesday July 15).
Staff at The Greengrocer Ripon and Norton’s Deli were putting the finishing touches in place at the smart premises in The Arcade this morning.
The Stray Ferret was invited in for a sneak peek at what the new joint venture has to offer.

Friends James Potter, who also owns and runs The Greengrocer Bedale, and Reece Norton, who formerly owned and ran the A&R Menus deli food van with his wife Alice, now share the large unit that was once home to the Blue Cross animal charity shop.
A third of the floorspace is taken up by the deli, where there are facilities for customers to eat in, while the rest of the store is dedicated to the sale of fruit, vegetables and other food items.
Opening hours for The Greengrocer is 7.30am until 6pm, Monday to Friday and 7.30am until 5pm on Saturdays, while Norton's Deli will be open from 7.30am until 3pm Monday to Saturday.
