New greengrocer and deli opens in Ripon

Wednesday, 16 July 2025 09:06

The Greengrocer is now open in Ripon city centre.

A brand new greengrocer and deli has opened in Ripon.

The Greengrocer officially opened in The Arcade yesterday (Tuesday), with a ribbon-cutting ceremony from The Mayor of Ripon, Cllr Jackie Crozier.

The grand opening was also attended by Lilla Bathurst from Ripon BID and Cllr Williams from North Yorkshire Council.

The new store provides quality fruit, vegetables and delicatessen, and is partnered with The Greengrocer Bedale.

It’s also collaborating with Norton’s Deli - a gourmet Deli Sandwich Shop operated by Alice and Reece Norton - which is located in store.

Greengrocer owner James Potter said:

“It was a lovely first day. Thank you to all who came down to support - even with your brollies!”

A spokesperson for Norton's Deli said:

"We always wanted to open a deli so this collaboration is something we are very excited about as we will be using all local ingredients from the greengrocers and surrounding areas of Ripon."

The Greengrocer is provisionally open from 7:30am until 6pm from Monday to Friday and 7:30am until 5pm on Saturday.
