Local Knowledge
Wroes is a family-owned, long-established department store in the heart of Bude, Cornwall. The business began in 1919 as a small electrical shop on The Strand and gradually expanded into clothing by the 1930s. In 1946 it was taken on by the grandparents of the current owners, and since then it has grown into a much-loved, full department store.
Wroes Bude offers an extensive range of products, from fashion and accessories to homeware, outdoor gear, gifts, and kitchenware. One of its highlights is the Ocean View Coffee Shop, where visitors can enjoy light meals and cakes while overlooking the sea.
More than just a store, Wroes is known for its friendly, personal service and strong community connections. With its mix of quality, value and local character, it continues to be a favourite shopping destination for both locals and visitors alike.
