New family-run shop to open in Harrogate’s bustling home of independent retailers

Called Wave Aquariums, the new shop will specialise in saltwater coral reefs and fascinating marine life, such as Venomous Lionfish, Clownfish (Nemo), Anemones, Bamboo sharks, and plenty more.

Located at 30 Commercial Street, it’s the work of store manager Jonny Rhodes – a former website designer who studied marine biology at university in Cambridge, and his father Ken, who is a director and owner of the company.

The new store will open officially on Saturday, April 1 at 2pm.

It is expected that in attendance will be special guest Andrew Jones, MP for Harrogate and Knaresborough.

Well-known for being a hub of independent retail in Harrogate, Commercial Street boasts more than 25 unique independent shops.

It even has its own support group to promote and market the street’s businesses and raise money for charity.
