After over 50 years in Chelsea, the local institution Partridges has taken the difficult decision to close its doors, and its last day of trading will be Sunday 2 February 2025.
Hugh Seaborn, CEO of Cadogan, said: “Partridges has been a cherished Chelsea institution since first opening on Sloane Street in 1972, and it is long-term partners like Partridge’s that we particularly value and support as they help make Chelsea special.
I am deeply sorry to see them go. However, we will continue both the store in a similar format but under a new name, and the hugely popular weekly market in Duke of York Square.
We aim to build on the Partridges legacy which has contributed so much to Chelsea and the Duke of York Square and wish them all the best for the future.”
John Shepherd, Managing Director of Partridges, added: “We are of course very sad to be leaving Chelsea and are grateful to Cadogan for allowing us the opportunity to develop our creativity in Duke of York Square, especially in supporting us to create a Fine Food Market in Chelsea.
We would like to thank all of our loyal Chelsea customers for their support, over more than half a century, and we have often served several generations of the same family. We will never forget you and could not have possibly done it all without you.”
Cadogan intends to retain a high-quality independent specialist grocer in this location to continue serving our community so watch this space! For the latest updates on the Fine Food Market, check our website again soon or follow @dukeofyorksquare on Instagram.
