Construction workers are on site as Next prepares to open an 8,000 sq ft clothing store in Ripon later this year.
Last month the Stray Ferret revealed that the retail giant would be coming to the St Michael's Retail Park on Rotary Way, where M&S opened its Simply Food store in July 2020.
The two leading retailers will be neighbours, as Next will be trading from adjacent units.
