‘We have been busy, but not overwhelmed’ – the story in Selby

In Selby, Tony Gilpin, owner of the Rooms For All furniture store on Micklegate, said the reopening had gone as well as he could have hoped for.

“We have been busy, but not been overwhelmed,” he said. That meant everyone was able to social distance and keep Covid safe.

And customers were making purchases.

“People aren’t window shopping,” he added. “They’re coming in because they want something specifically.”
