de Gruchy is one of the oldest department store retailers in the UK and Channel Islands, celebrating 200 years of trading in Jersey in 2010.

As such, it is now seen as part of the ‘fabric’ of St. Helier and enjoys a reputations way beyond the shores of Jersey.

The store occupies a landmark building in a 100% prime pitch in the town’s main shopping area, King Street. Originally developed as a department store, de Gruchy currently trades from 76,000 square feet and is the largest retail outlet in the Channel Islands. Due to its purpose-built nature the store has vast open floors that are perfect for today’s retail requirements.

Since being acquired by the Ulster Stores Group in November 2006, significant investment has been made in refurbishment of the Arcade, Menswear and further investment in the contemporary  fashion area, along with the introduction of Fortuna Electricals to the ground floor and a Coffee Shop on the first floor.  Further plans are in the pipeline which will focus on the first floor. 

During 2010 de Gruchy will be celebrating 200 years of trading. Watch out for fun events during the summer months!

sandwiches and a full lunch menu.

Recently opened in May 2009, "Upstairs at de Gruchy" is situated on the second floor.
This airy, bright coffee shop has much more to offer than coffee.  We offer a wide range
of paninis and sandwiches made in store daily.  At lunch time you can indulge in our
home made soups and rolls made fresh on the premises.  If you are after something a
little more substantial, why not try our savory tart or a baked potato and salad from our
ever popular salad bar. In the afternoon sit back and relax with friends and enjoyone of
our home made pastries (my choice rocky road or malteser slice), accompanied with a
flavoured hot chocolate drinks.
