Named Soju by Sumo, the venue will be offering authentic flavours from across East Asia and will be located next to Everyman. The restaurant, which will see classic Chinese favourites cooked using modern western cooking techniques, is hoped to provide local employment opportunities and increase footfall to the site that offers retail, business and leisure facilities. It will become the latest arrival at the multi-purpose Treadmills location that preserves all four listed buildings.

This new name in Northallerton is part of North Yorkshire Council's plan to revitalise town centres by reviewing its estate and pursuing opportunities to upgrade unused buildings for the benefit of communities and the local economy. The latest addition to Northallerton’s multi-million pound Treadmills scheme created on the site of the town’s former prison will start serving customers from January 2025, although an exact date is yet to be confirmed.
Alongside the project in Northallerton, the council has secured a new tenant for a vacant unit in the council-owned Royal Baths building in Harrogate, formerly home to the Potting Shed. North Yorkshire Council’s executive member for open to business, Cllr Mark Crane, whose responsibilities include economic development and regeneration, said: “The arrival of these new venues benefits everybody. “They will provide local employment opportunities and hopefully attract more people to our town centres, who are likely to spend money in other shops and use local accommodation providers.
” “It’s crucial that we continue to identify opportunities to drive investment and increase footfall in our high streets. “We want to have economically vibrant and thriving town centres where residents, visitors and businesses work together to drive growth – and our larger centres such as Harrogate and Northallerton play a key role in driving economic activity elsewhere across the county.”.
