Jessops last operated a photography store in the city until 2020 when it closed its Coney Street branch during the pandemic.
This followed the closure of another branch that year at Monks Cross.
The return follows troubled times for the retailer, originally founded in Leicester by Frank Jessop in 1935, and has fallen into administration several times this century.
As recently as July this year, HMRC had sought to wind up the company over unpaid tax, but the taxman withdrew its claim.
Now, the camera retailer has opened its first Discovery Store in GoOutdoors York - Europe’s largest outdoor adventure centre.
Jessops describes the new concession as ‘state of the art’, allowing customers to “immerse themselves in Jessops’ range of specialist products.”
