Like Nana Did is a zero-waste refill grocery at 14 Orchard Gate, Otley. It works on a weigh-and-pay basis: customers bring their own containers, have them weighed empty, fill them from the dispensers and pay for the contents. The range covers dried goods — pulses, pasta, rice, flour, sugar, nuts, dried fruit, cereals, herbs and spices — household refills including washing-up liquid, laundry liquid, fabric softener, shampoo and body wash, and plastic-free items such as bamboo toothbrushes and glass containers. The shop''s own account traces the idea to a grandmother''s refill shop in Urmston, and says its founder gave up work as a university maths tutor to open it. The Otley Chamber listing names Jo Lyons as the owner and records the shop winning Best Newcomer 2020 at the Otley Business Awards.

An independent delicatessen and grocer at 14 Boroughgate in Otley, which describes itself as an authentic Italian deli. Simon and Becky started in November 2007 with a fruit and vegetable stall on Otley market, trading there and at Yeadon, opened the shop in July 2021 and gave up the market stalls in February 2023 to concentrate on it. Stock runs to fresh produce, store-cupboard goods and speciality items from abroad, with a deli counter making food to order and hampers made up through the year. The shop is owned by Simon and Becky, who also run it day to day and are, in its own words, at the premises "hands on". It opens seven days a week, from 6am on weekdays.

Newsagent · Grocer · Otley

The Gills News is an independent newsagent at 10 The Gills, Otley, north-west of Leeds. It occupies the only retail unit on its street: address records for the postcode otherwise list houses, flats and maisonettes, home to around 90 residents at the 2021 census, which places the shop among homes rather than in Otley''s shopping streets. Trade directory listings place it under newspapers and magazines, newspaper deliveries and magazine deliveries, and the business describes itself as offering "the best newspaper and magazines deliveries". It therefore runs delivery rounds as well as selling over the counter.
