The Yorkshire Trading Company is a chain of variety and discount stores founded and based in Northern England, it is a family-run business dating back to 1954 and is now into the third and fourth generations. It operates 33 Yorkshire Trading Company stores from as far north as Alnwick in Northumberland to Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire. In 1964, John Nichols opened his first shop in Kingston upon Hull, by 1985 the Nichols family (John, his wife Molly and his two sons Paul and Robert) had eight stores in towns such as Whitby and Bridlington, and in 1995 the store count had increased to 12 with locations in Richmond and Ripon. With the demise of high street giant Woolworths in 2008, 11 more shops were also added to the portfolio. The business had several speciality stores under different names; James Piper was the name given to a glassware store in Driffield operated by Tom Nichols, John's youngest son. Other store names such as JC Nichols and Barmy Bob's were phased out in 2000 as the company rebranded all of their locations under the Yorkshire Trading Company banner and became a limited company. In 2015, work was completed on the construction of a new purpose built distribution centre and head office, costing £7 million, located at Kellythorpe Industrial Estate, Driffield.
