It has been another challenging year for the region’s hospitality sector.
Unfortunately, We’ve seen closures all across Yorkshire in big towns and cities like Huddersfield, Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford and others. In terms of shopping, of course, we’ve lost some major names.
While, the food and drink scene has hit as well, notably the issues faced by TGI Fridays, and independents have also been forced to close. In some cases, new businesses have launched ro replace the closures while, in others, units still remain empty
Scroll below to reminisce about some of the notable closures we’ve listed.
Thankfully, it isn’t all doom and gloom. There’s also been many openings in 2024 with lots more to come in 2025. As always, we’ll keep you posted on what there is to look forward to.
