Queues form outside Bettys as Harrogate shop reopens
Bettys in Harrogate town centre sees queues as it opens its shop doors this morning as customers return for a long awaited cake fix.
Long queues have formed outside Bettys in Harrogate today as its shop reopened to the public.
Bettys closed all of its six cafes and shops back in March but today has opened their Harrogate shop, with Ilkley, Harlow Carr and York opening next week.
Managing Director of Bettys, Simon Eyles said:
"We are truly delighted to be welcoming customers back to our Bettys shops, we’ve missed them. To ensure their safety and that of our colleagues, we have new shopping systems in place. So, while it might not be the full Bettys experience that customers are used to, people will still find the mouth-watering Bettys treats they have been missing and, of course, our warm Yorkshire welcome."

All of the Bettys cafes remain closed until further notice.
