Built on family. Guided by values.
The story of Chandra goes back further than our journey in the UK.
The Chandra name has its roots in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka, where it became part of our family's story and heritage. For our founder, the name carries a particularly special meaning: Chandra was the name of his mother, making it a name deeply connected to family, memories, values and a sense of home.
When the founder began his journey in the UK, he chose to carry the Chandra name forward, bringing with it the values and spirit that had been part of the family for generations.
What began as a name close to our hearts became the foundation for a new chapter in the UK. While our surroundings changed, the values behind the name remained the same: family, care, trust, quality and serving people with warmth and respect.
Today, Chandra Stores continues that legacy, connecting our heritage in Sri Lanka with our life and community in the UK. We are proud of where the name comes from, and equally proud of how it has continued to grow and evolve.
