‘Leading lifestyle brand’ is to open new store in the heart of Harrogate
FOR GENERATIONS, Harrogate has provided a home for entrepreneurs with creative flair and the town is continuing to attract major brands, despite the uncertain economic climate.
Now the fashion and lifestyle retailer Oliver Bonas has revealed that it is opening a store in Harrogate.
Founded in 1993 by Oliver Tress, Oliver Bonas is an independent British lifestyle brand, offering a range of fashion, jewellery, homeware, furniture, and gifts. Oliver Bonas has agreed a lease for the ground floor of a store in James Street.
Antony Rosindale, from Countrylarge, which is the owner of the building, commented: “We’re very excited to be bringing a leading lifestyle brand to the heart of Harrogate town centre and our vision for the building will fully utilise all the existing space.
“It’s a grand building and we want to ensure that it is all used in the best way possible.”
Tom Limbert, Director of niche property consultants, Central Retail, which acted for Countrylarge, added: “It’s been a pleasure working with Countrylarge.
“Oliver Bonas is an iconic brand which befits such a majestic building.
“Having acted for various landlord clients over the past 12 months, we have introduced Pret A Manger, Ebru Evrim & Carl Scarpa to the street and have also upsized Hotel Chocolat.”
“James Street has been re-invigorated and its vibrancy has returned to a pre-pandemic state.
“There are more outstanding high-end retailers destined for the area.
“The good news is that all units are now fully occupied.
“Oliver Bonas will be a great addition to the existing tenant line up on James Street.”
The new Oliver Bonas store is expected to open in September.
