Pure Gym to open in former Knaresborough supermarket
A Pure Gym is set to open in a former Knaresborough covid vaccine centre and Lidl supermarket.
The Lidl on York Road closed in 2018 when the supermarket relocated to a larger site nearby.
In February 2021, the site was taken over by Homecare Pharmacy Services, which administered thousands of covid jabs from a building in the car park until it moved in September last year to larger premises on Knaresborough’s Chain Lane.
In January this year, Harrogate Borough Council granted planning permission to convert the site into a gym.

Now, documents submitted to the council have confirmed that national fitness chain, Pure Gym, will move into the site.
Pure Gym has lodged an application to the council to operate opening hours from 6am until 11pm, Monday to Sunday.
The company does not plan to increase the size inside the former Lidl unit and will instead use the existing space for the gym.
The council will make a decision on the opening hours at a later date.
The new gym would become Pure Gym's second in the Harrogate district. The company operates a 24-hour facility on Harrogate's Tower Street.
