A new specialist health and nutritional supplement shop has opened in Harrogate.
Go Herbs, which is based on Station Parade, offers customers a a wide range of vitamins, natural health products and sports supplements.
The store is overseen by Emilija Krukoniene and Abbie Green, who wanted to create a welcoming, positive and educational experience for customers to learn how they can improve their health, wellbeing and sports performance.
Ms Krukoniene said:
“We are really excited to see our vision coming to fruition as we open our first store in Harrogate and welcome customers.
“Whilst most of us can get all the vitamins and minerals we need by eating a healthy, balanced diet, sometimes we need a little extra help and so we are looking forward to getting to know the local community.
“Health and nutrition is my passion and it has always been a dream for me to be able to help people look and feel their best by helping them find the best products to support them whatever their goals, with a welcoming in-store experience.”
The store is planning a series of events throughout the year such as Q&A sessions, collaborating with local groups and organisations, providing expert advice and support alongside high-quality products.

Harrogate firm secures first council wellbeing award
A council-run workplace wellbeing scheme has given the first level of accreditation to a Harrogate business.
Pemco, based in Starbeck’s Spa Lane, signed up to the Workplace Wellbeing Award through the public health team at North Yorkshire County Council.
The scheme gives businesses a framework to ensure staff welfare is made a high priority.
For Pemco, which offers management support and training services to other companies, this has meant hybrid working, modern office facilities, and team-building events. The company has also committed to not contacting staff by email outside working hours.
Holly Astbury, a partner at Pemco and the company’s wellbeing lead, said:
“The award process has been a fantastic opportunity for us to focus on our employees’ health and wellbeing.
“The support from the Workplace Wellbeing team at the council has been invaluable, especially the opportunity to carry out an in-depth health needs assessment, which gave us an insight into our employees’ needs and allowed us to tailor an action plan to suit them, rather than guessing in the dark about which interventions to implement.”
Design lead Andrew Liddle said:
“Flexible working has made a massive difference to mine and my family’s routine. It takes away a huge headache of having to pick the kids up from school before work finishes.
“The monthly team meals are great for us all to catch up together, as well as the social events outside of work like the picnic and quiz night.”
Established in 2010, Pemco currently has a team of seven, and is recruiting as part of its expansion plans.
