After 33 wonderful years, the time has come for PriceCheck - The Italian Shop to begin a new chapter.
For more than three decades, we have proudly served the Bedford community. Through changing times, economic challenges and memorable milestones, one thing has remained constant: your support.
Today, we simply want to say thank you.
Thank you to every customer who has walked through our doors, shopped with us, recommended us to family and friends, and supported our family business over the years.
Many of you have been with us for decades. We've watched families grow, children become parents, and customers become friends. Your loyalty has been the foundation of everything we've built.
As many of you know, we have been unable to reach a reasonable lease agreement with our current landlords. Leaving a place that has been our home for 33 years is not something we ever imagined, but the response from the community has reminded us why Bedford is such a special place.
We have been overwhelmed by the messages of support, the kind words and the offers of help from so many people who wanted to see PriceCheck - The Italian Shop remain part of Bedford's high street. Your encouragement at a difficult time has meant more to us than words can properly express.
We would also like to thank the local landlords who contacted us and generously offered alternative premises. The goodwill shown towards our family business during this period has been truly humbling and is something we will never forget.
Most importantly, we are delighted to announce that, with the support of Bedford Borough Council, PriceCheck - The Italian Shop has secured a new unit in the Howard Centre.
The best part? We're not leaving Bedford. We're simply moving around the corner.
Whilst there is sadness in closing the door on a building that has been part of our story for so long, there is even greater excitement about what comes next. This move allows us to continue serving the community we love and carrying PriceCheck - The Italian Shop forward into the future.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has stood beside us over the last 33 years: our customers, our neighbours, the local community, the landlords who offered support, and Bedford Borough Council for helping make our future possible.
We look forward to welcoming you to our new home in the Howard Centre and hope you will continue to support us for as long as we can serve you, just as you have done for the last 33 years.
Thank you, Bedford. We couldn't have done it without you. Here's to the next chapter. ❤️
