Article 6

There has been lots of excitement among fashion savvy teens over the last few weeks as we draw nearer to the opening of two major high street shops.

Primark and Topshop/Topman are on track to be opened by the end of the year. Both will be on Cambridge street, Primark in the old Bhs building and Topshop where Boots used to be.

Bhs closed down when Arcadia sold the lease to the building, as it was hard trying to compete with M&S down the road. Boots relocated to the bigger site, where Woolworths was, before the company went into administration in 2008.

There has been some speculation about Primark coming to Harrogate as some think the town is too upmarket to have a discount clothes shop, and it would lower the tone of the town centre. But these worries may not come to light as Primark will have to raise their prices due to rise in the cost of cotton.
