    Meet Nicola Mawdsley, the owner of Joy on Cold Bath Road.

    Fruit and vegetables fresh from the ground are front and centre at Joy, a new organic food shop that opened on Cold Bath Road in Harrogate today.

    Nicola Mawdsley, who is behind the venture, wants to expand the range to compete with smaller supermarkets.



    Nicola got the keys to the building five weeks ago and has managed to pull her vision together despite the coronavirus lockdown:

    "It has had its challenges. The local traders and suppliers have really stepped up to help make this what it is.
    "I am excited to open the doors. I cannot wait to start welcoming people through the doors."




    The idea behind Joy is to be a one-stop shop. The stock will change with the seasons but it will always be as environmentally-friendly as possible.

    Currently it has plenty of fruits and vegetables, pastas, pickles, chocolates, herbs, teas and coffees. All sourced as locally as possible.

    Now the doors are open Nicola will expand the range, with organic wines and gluten-free beers high on her agenda.

    It is not just about the produce: the shop also has baskets to rent and plenty of eco-friendly and reusable bags.
