A new Indian supermarket has opened its doors in Harrogate - and with a new name.
‘Namaste Supermarket’ is now open for business on Station Parade, offering a range of goods including fruit and vegetables, alcoholic beverages and tobacco.
The shop has taken over the unit previously occupied by Go Herbs.
It had initially planned to open with the name ‘Swastik’, which is derived from the ancient and sacred symbol representing positivity often used in Hinduism.
However, following backlash from Harrogate residents, the business has been renamed.
