Independent Harrogate shop to open on James Street in positive sign for town centre

With several properties still vacant on James Street, Porters menswear shop is reversing the trend during the Covid pandemic by taking over an empty unit.

The designer menswear shop, located currently on Oxford Street, is to take over the spot left by the departure of Jack Wills earlier this year at number 26 James Street in a prime location in the town centre.

Stocking beautiful brands such as Guide London, Belstaff, Claudio Lugli, Nudie, Scotch & Soda, Replay and many more, Porters will open at its new address on September 17.

The shop's owners have been posting about their excitement at their big move, saying: "Porters Harrogate is moving. Thank you to everyone who shared our post! Wow, we feel very supported by you our amazing customers!

"We are so excited to welcome you into our new store. Make sure you are following us for more exciting updates!"
