Retro 36 shop in Scarborough could become a cafe
Jackson’s Property Service has lodged its own application to turn Retro 36, once one of Scarborough’s most iconic independent stores, into a cafe.
Retro 36, which actually covers 37-39 St Nicholas Street, is now under the management of the property company, which wants to turn it into a coffee house in order to pay bills.

Mr Jackson said the shop would sell coffee, cakes and cold sandwiches with no cooking carried out on the premises.
