Piece of York in Grape Lane close to York Minster, opened earlier this month and sells predominantly jigsaws and old school puzzles and games.
Owners Sam and Jan Robinson have been working hard behind the scenes to get their new courtyard gift shop open ahead of the Christmas.
The duo ran popular bar and grill 1331 for about 20 years.
The bar closed earlier this year with the building now divided between restaurant Fish and Forest downstairs and a planned new first floor restaurant called Pig and Potato which Sam and Jan will also run.
Sam and Jan's son Stephen Andrews runs Fish & Forest. The 34-year-old chef founded his Michelin-listed restaurant as a pop-up concept in 2018, before opening in Spark in 2020 and then Micklegate the following year before opening in Grape Lane in August this year.
Jan said Piece of York has an alcohol licence and in the new year they plan open up the back room of the shop which you get to through a secret bookcase door.
