Furniture and homeware shop Greybear, in Bridge Street, confirmed it will open for the final time on February 2. It has been in business for the past 13 years.
Holly Box, the owner of Greybear, returned to her home city of York after opening Grey Bear in Newcastle in 2011 and running it for two years, before moving to Knaresborough for a further two years. She opened her shop in York in 2014.

When announcing the end of Greybear’s presence on the high street, Holly said: “I’ve been putting off announcing it, but here it goes.
“With a heavy heart, I am closing the doors to Greybear.
“It’s been such a tough decision to make, the shop has always been my happy place but with a second baby on the way I just can’t give the shop the time and effort it needs to make it thrive.
“It’s been an amazing thirteen years, and I want to take this opportunity to thank all our wonderful customers, and of course my unbelievable staff, for their support over the years.”
She added that the business will keep an online presence, on a more flexible basis.
