A grocery store and bakery in Pateley Bridge will open its doors for the last time this weekend after 40 years of trading.
Park View Stores opened in the 1980s and has since supplied Nidderdale with everyday essentials, as well as homemade breads, sweet treats and takeaway sandwiches.
Karen Seale, who co-owns the company with her family, said the store has not been ‘financially viable’ since the pandemic.
She added:
Ms Seale’s parents, Dorothy Wilson and her late husband Malcolm, bought the unit, which was formerly a sweet shop, over four decades ago.
She added:
Ms Seale said the business has been up for sale for over two years, but they haven't yet found a buyer.
She told the Stray Ferret her family has been overwhelmed by the support they have received since announcing the closure.
Park View Stores will trade for the last time this Saturday.
