Keddies

Keddies was a small chain of department stores in Essex, England, with its flagship store in a prime location in Southend High Street (originally called the Broadway). The business had a national reputation, being recognised in The Fashion Handbook, appearing on the side of a Matchbox model 17C bus and being one of the retailers that fought to remove Retail Price Maintenance. The business grew in the 1970s opening further branches across Essex, before closing them during the 1980s. Keddies closed for business on 26 February 1996 after going into administration.
