78–94 Foregate Street, Chester, Grade II listed department store in Foregate Street, Chester, England

The brick and stone building extends across nine bays along Foregate Street and three bays along Love Street with Roman Doric-style columns at ground level.

Local architect John Douglas designed this commercial building for the Chester Cooperative Society, which was completed in 1904 and extended in 1914.

The structure features a lead-roofed cupola with a lantern, stained glass transoms, and decorative stone surrounds that reflect early 20th-century architectural elements.

The ground floor contains multiple retail spaces with modern shop fronts, making it a central shopping destination in Chester's commercial district.

The building's corner cupola with its domed roof and tall finial creates a marked architectural endpoint visible from both Foregate Street and Love Street.
