It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closing of Bedford Cheese Shop at 67 Irving Place in New York City, effective mid-June.
Bedford Cheese Shop first opened in 2003, and we have proudly served the Gramercy Park neighborhood since opening this location nearly 14 years ago. This decision has not been made lightly—it comes after careful consideration and deep reflection. Unfortunately, we can no longer operate out of our current space, as the building is set to undergo an extensive, multi-year renovation. This challenge, coupled with other forces outside our control—rising costs of doing business in New York City, increasing prices of products and supplies, and broader economic uncertainty—has made a path forward unfeasible at this time.
Still, we know that change is a constant, and with every challenge comes the possibility of new beginnings. For now, closing the Shop is a necessary step that will give us the space and time to reassess and reimagine what the next chapter of Bedford Cheese Shop might look like.
We offer our deepest gratitude to our remarkable team of cheesemongers who have shared their knowledge and passion so generously, to our loyal customers whose continued support has sustained us through the years, and to the dedicated artisans whose exceptional products have filled our shelves. We are endlessly thankful and inspired by you all.
Please stop by to see us in the coming weeks if you can!
With Love,
Christina, Samantha & All of Us at Bedford Cheese Shop
