A CLOTHES shop is to cease trading after 25 years in a market town.

Just Like New Fashions, in Garthway Arcade, Northallerton, closes its doors for the final time tomorrow.

Owner Josie Young is retiring after running the second-hand clothes store for the past ten years.

She said: "There was four years to run on the lease when I took it over, and I extended it for another six years.

"I have tried to sell it on, but there has been no takers.

"That is why it is closing down.

"We have had some good times.

"I am going to retire, spend more time with my family and go travelling.

"I would like to thank all the customers we have had over the years, as well as my loyal staff."
