After Pizza Express announced today it was being forced to close 73 of its 454 restaurants in the UK, it issued a list of the places affected.
Although the likes of Leeds, Crown Street; Bristol, Berkeley Square and Hampstead, London are all ear-marked for closure, Harrogate's Pizza Express on Albert Street is not on the list.

Pizza Express also confirmed that the slimming of its portfolio will come with the potential loss of 1,100 jobs.
And the company said it has now appointed advisers from Lazard to begin a sale process for the business.
