The exterior shots were in Lister Avenue in Balby, a suburb of Doncaster; the shop itself is a hairdresser's salon.
Gladys Emmanuel's house was 34 Lister Avenue, Balby, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, in the first series, but moved to number 32 in the second series.
The local council considered demolishing the shop used in Open All Hours and a web site has been set up for fans of the show to post messages in support of saving the shop. The shop was to be auctioned in Leeds on 24 November 2008, and was expected to fetch between £120,000 and £130,000, however, it failed to meet its reserve price.
All four series of all 26 episodes have now been released on VHS and DVD.
