About

Cheshire Country Store was founded in September 2024 by Kitty Ratcliffe and her fiancé, Joe Kirby. Located at Park View Business Centre in Combermere, the store offers a carefully curated selection of premium country clothing, footwear, homeware, and gifts. As a brand-new business, the store aims to bring high-quality country lifestyle products to customers who appreciate timeless, rugged elegance.

Kitty, with nearly a decade of experience in the industry, has been deeply involved in the world of country fashion and outdoor wear. Her previous role with Ariat Europe, a leading name in the equestrian and country world, allowed her to gain a wealth of expertise and a keen eye for quality. In May 2024, she left Ariat to pursue her long-held dream of opening her own store, combining her passion for the countryside with her extensive knowledge of premium brands.

Joe, from a dairy farm background, runs his own business, Kirby Cattle Services, specializing in cattle hoof trimming and concrete grooving. With his practical knowledge of rural life and Kitty’s eye for design and quality, they’ve created Cheshire Country Store as a destination for those seeking authentic country style. The store focuses on quality craftsmanship, sourcing products from trusted brands, and offering an inviting space where customers can explore a range of functional and stylish items for their homes and wardrobes.
