About Campbell's of Leyburn - R. Campbell & Son

The forerunner of the current store opened in 1868 as R Campbell & Son in premises that are now part of Campbell's of Leyburn. The principals were Robert Campbell, who was head gardener on the Bolton Estate, and his son Alexander, an apprentice grocer.

Almost a century later, the store they created was the site for a local retail revolution. The 4th generation Campbell to run the store – who was also called Robert - took the visionary step of ripping out the interior and creating the first self-service shop in the Dales.

In the following decades, continual investment and innovation created today’s Campbell's of Leyburn, which uniquely combines all the choice, convenience and competitive pricing of big city supermarkets with features such as;

The widest selection of international wines in the region
A flourishing Wine Club based in a purpose-designed events area and lounge known as "Upstairs at Campbell's"
An in-house butchery department with the expertise and contacts to source the finest locally-reared and rare breeds' meat
A reputation for helping artisans and small manufacturers get their products into the marketplace
... and an extensive range of cheeses from around the world, including a large selection of Wensleydale Cheeses.
