Last updated 13th Jan 2021
Debenhams has confirmed it's store in Harrogate is going to close- after the retailer collapsed.
It's one of six stores across the country that will shut its doors permanently with the loss of 320 jobs.
Officials are still trying to find a buyer for all - or parts - of the business.
The company started a liquidation process last month after failing to secure a last-minute rescue sale.
Geoff Rowley, joint administrator to Debenhams and partner at FRP, said: "We continue to engage with interested parties over alternative proposals for the future of Debenhams, but inevitably the latest lockdown has had an effect on our plans for the wind-down of the business.
"We regret the impact on those colleagues affected by today's announcement and would like to thank all those who continue to keep the business trading in very difficult circumstances.''
