Harrogate Specsavers has celebrated 30 years in the town with a £500,000 transformation.
Doug and Dame Mary Perkins, co-founders of Specsavers, first opened the store in February 1992, offering affordable care and a space where customers can feel comfortable discussing vision issues.
And in a bid to “keep pace with growing demand,” the store has recently undergone a £500,000 rebrand.

This investment has transformed the store with revamped test rooms, state-of-the-art frame displays and more space to accommodate customers.
Caroline Sullivan, store director at Specsavers Harrogate, said:
“It's an incredible achievement to celebrate 30 years of service to our wonderful community.
“It truly reflects the team's commitment to the community they love.
“Over the past three decades, we've built lasting relationships with our customers, and we couldn't have done it without the passion of our fantastic team.
“As we look to the future, we are excited to continue to grow and deliver the highest level of care that our customers have come to expect.
“We remain committed to strengthening our role as a key pillar in our community by continuing to work with local organisations at the heart of Harrogate.”
The aim of the improvements is to give the store a “more modern feel” and reflect the standard of care customers can expect from the team.

Beyond eye care, the team at Specsavers Harrogate is also deeply committed to investing in the local community.
They continue to support local initiatives, including Henshaws and Vision Support—and most recently they provided Saltergate School with hi-vis vests to ensure pupils stayed safe during winter.
