A handmade gift shop is to open in Knaresborough’s Green Dragon Yard on Saturday.
Mel and Andrew Turner already have Boggle Hole shops in Harrogate and Northallerton.
Their Knaresborough venture, which will employ four staff and be called Little Boggle Hole, will follow the same format by selling items made by Yorkshire crafters, artists and designers.
It will occupy the unit previously used by Yorkshire Mixture sweet shop.
Ms Turner said:
“All three shops have exactly the same ethos.
“Knaresborough appealed because of its independent shops plus it has a nice mixture of people we are trying to attract.
“The feedback we received was that there was a need for something like this.”
Boggle Hole opened in Harrogate’s Victoria Shopping Centre in August last year. the Northallerton store started trading in 2020.
Ms Turner is a holistic therapist and Mr Turner served 22 years in the armed services.
