New business moving into empty Halifax town centre building
A Halifax town centre building empty since a 40-year-old business moved out is getting a new lease of life.
What was the premises for Cycle Gear, on Horton Street, went up for sale last year after the bike store, which had been trading since 1984, shut.
Now a new business is moving in.
Sault Social is a hair salon and barbers which says it is “proudly eco-friendly and 100 per cent vegan” and will be opening next month.


"We use products that are kind to your hair, kind to animals and kinder to the planter because looking good should feel good in every way,” says the business’s website.
Sault’s Social’s Instagram page describes it as a “Halifax creative hub” and says food and drink is “coming soon”.
In a video, its team also say they have space to offer other businesses to move in and use.
"We’ve got the space for you, if you’re interested,” they say.
